Make is expected to be POSIX if the first non-empty line in the Makefile 
looks like:

.POSIX:

, the Makefile is syntactically correct (with regard to the description in 
Posix, not make(1)) and if it doesn't use any \.[A-Z]+ target names 
besides those in the standard. So, except for the command line parsing,
it is possible to get POSIX behaviour (it doesn't work yet though, but 
we're working on it). With regard to a flag/variable I would like, at some 
point, to re-start the discussion about making a Posix option available 
for all Posix-tools in some common way (ls, ...). Make would then be just 
one of them.
