These of course are related to glibc... the change to go to 
200112 across the board for all the POSIX sysconf values 
happened a long time ago (several were changed earlier),
but six months after glibc 2.3.2 was tagged for release, 
and we're using the released 2.3.2 tarballs. 

I guess I'm still trying to figure out what the sample
implementation should use as the basis for glibc - there
doesn't seem to be a cvs tag later than 2.3.2 and no
new tarballs, but all the distros are currently using
something later than this.  Generally we try to stick
to the latest released tarballs but somebody said the
glibc project wasn't releasing tarballs any longer ???
Is that correct ???
