It's already implicitly documented, in the chapter about each function: <http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/gnulib.html#Function-Substitutes> For example, the function posix_trace_attr_init, which no system implements, is marked as: "This function is missing on some platforms: glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, Cygwin, mingw, Interix 3.5, BeOS." Eliminate the version numbers, and you have the systems about which we worry: glibc, MacOS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, AIX, HP-UX IRIX, OSF/1, Solaris, Cygwin, mingw, Interix, BeOS. Over time we've effectively dropped Interix and BeOS and started to support MirBSD instead: glibc, MacOS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, MirBSD, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, OSF/1, Solaris, Cygwin, mingw. Bruno
