POSIX specification:@* @url{https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/stdlib.h.html}
Gnulib module: stdlib, system-posix
Portability problems fixed by the Gnulib module @code{stdlib}:
@itemize
@item
The macros @code{EXIT_SUCCESS} and @code{EXIT_FAILURE} are not defined on
some platforms.
@item
Some platforms provide a @code{NULL} macro that cannot be used in arbitrary
expressions:
NetBSD 5.0
@item
The value of @code{MB_CUR_MAX} is too small (3 instead of 4) in UTF-8 locales
on some platforms:
Solaris 10.

Portability problems fixed by the Gnulib module @code{system-posix}:
@itemize
@item
The macros @code{WIFSIGNALED}, @code{WIFEXITED}, @code{WIFSTOPPED},
@code{WTERMSIG}, @code{WEXITSTATUS}, @code{WNOHANG}, @code{WUNTRACED},
@code{WSTOPSIG} are not defined in this header file (only in
@code{<sys/wait.h>}) on some platforms:
MirBSD 10.
@end itemize
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
The definition of the type @code{once_flag}, of the macro
@code{ONCE_FLAG_INIT}, and the declaration of the function
@code{call_once}, that are required by ISO C 23, are not provided.
To get them, import Gnulib module @code{call_once} and include
@code{<threads.h>} rather than @code{<stdlib.h>}.
@item
System status macros such as @code{WEXITSTATUS} require an lvalue
argument on some platforms.
macOS 11.1.
