That should not be the problem. The POSIX.5 standard can easily
be ordered from IEEE as

  IEEE Std 1003.5b-1996 Standard for Information Technology--POSIX
  Ada Language Interfaces--Part 1: Binding for System Applications
  Program Interface (API), 550 pages, ISBN 1-55937-758-5, US$ 112 (for
  IEEE members), order code SH94432-NYF.

either from

  IEEE Publications

  Fax: +1-732-981-9667

or

There seem to be some partial POSIX.5 packages for Linux and other
Unices around, for instance Forest 1.3 on

http://www.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/ifi/ps/ada-software/html/os_env.html

It would be nice to have this completed and become part of the
standard GNAT distribution plus as you mentioned some homemade
extentions for sockets, symlinks, etc., until we have a POSIX
Ada binding for those, too.
