I did a grep over the few sources I've installed locally and found the
following in autoconf:
/cvs/autoconf/INSTALL:     ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix

and in /cvs/autoconf/acspecific.m4
    # Guillermo Gomez says -lposix is necessary on A/UX.
    AC_CHECK_FUNC(remove)
    if test $ac_cv_func_remove = no; then
      AC_CHECK_LIB(posix, remove, X_EXTRA_LIBS="$X_EXTRA_LIBS -lposix")
    fi

Other files using autoconf where included this - but I couldn't find a
reference to -lposix for a Linux system.

So it looks that it not needed anywhere - just mentioned in all
INSTALL documents as an example :-(.
