glibc curiosity

Hi. (if the cross-post is considered harmful, a polite nudge will make me stop :-) I am developing an app under SuSE 7.1 at work, and discovered that in order to get mmap(2) with MAP_ANON, I had to #define __USE_MISC. (I peeked in ) Asking on #kernelnewbies got me the response 'yeah, MAP_ANON is not POSIX'. Well, ok, but I wonder why glibc was not compiled (on linux) to have this (if that's the right way to phrase it). If anyone can shed light around this, I'd be glad of it (and any other similar things I'm liable to stumble across...) TIA.
