Salut Sylvain,

The idea is to build a standalone library of posix compatible functions
from gnulib that will make writing and porting programs that use the
POSIX APIs easier; and without worrying so much about the (often spotty
and imperfect) POSIX compatibility of the native libraries - ideally
reducing the size and complexity of the configuration of projects that
stick to documented POSIX apis considerably, and in any case saving
drastically on the requirement to copy a large number of gnulib modules
into many separate projects as would otherwise be necessary (as is the
case right now in fact).
Building it should be a matter of:
$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git
$ cd gnulib
$ git checkout topic/libposix
$ cd libposix
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
There are still some pending issues and feedback to be incorporated
before it can be merged back into master.

I was not aware of that project, so no... no relation :)
