I thought so - I've definitely been removing fallbacks for pre-POSIX.1-1990
systems.    We still have some places that check for Unix98'isms like snprintf,
but could probably reduce those.

(With my corporate slave hat on, I could even live with Unix03, since we only
  ship current Xorg bits on Unix03-compliant systems, but for the community at
  large I don't think we want to go that far yet since I know many people still
  like to build their own for older systems.)
