5. Section 13.5.2.2, Dynamic Thread Scheduling Parameters Access, Description

   The pthread_getschedparam and pthread_setschedparam functions are
   specified to be available only if {_POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING};
   this is a problem related to the previous issue with Section
   13.5.1. According to the intent of the working group, these functions
   should be available if {_POSIX_THREADS}. (However, if the resolution of
   the previous issue is to make all scheduling functions available only if
   {_POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING}, then this section is correct
   as-is.)
