RT-Linux is for hard real-time, and has little to do with Posix.4
(now Posix.1b) real time support.

All you need to do to officially 'support' Posix.1b is to declare
in your header files, that you support it, but don't support any
of the actual individual features. I suspect glibc might do this
now.

As for how real support is coming along, Markus Kuhn used to
maintain a sort of progress report, and it still exists on
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/local/cip/mskuhn/misc/linux-posix.1b
but it hasn't been updated for about 6 months.

You might be better off asking about the specific features you
are interested in.
