Ok, for your particular project, it seems that
you will need Posix. But for other Unix
freeware, like gcc and sed, which are
basically text-processing programs, there is
no reason why a C90 or C18 target can't
be provided by default. I don't understand
why the authors of these programs don't
consider standard C environments.

The patch is included in either of the files here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mvs380/files/hercules380/Hercules-380%20v3.07-5.0/

Look for hercules*.txt.

It needs to be applied against 3.07, which
can be found here:

The hercules-390.org site is down at the moment,
so I provided the archive.org snapshot instead.
