;posix on a LINKEDIT command specifies that *all* filenames in the command
should be interpreted as explicitly being HFS names instead of being
explicitly MPE-only names.

Without this option LINKEDIT will not accept filenames that start with a .
or /, and with this option LINKEDIT Will not accept and ordinary
FILE.GROUP.ACCOUNT name.

In other words, it's an all or nothing deal.  If you want to link an "MPE"
program with a "posix" library, you'll need to specify ;posix and then
specify the "MPE name" as /ACCOUNT/GROUP/FILE.

At least that's my recollection.
