I'm sure you meant it like that, but just to clarify it:
It is only unspecified if it doesn't appear as the first non-comment line,
has prerequisites or commands.

I agree with that.
As far as I can see, we could add `.POSIX` to the following programs:
dwm, dmenu, dwmstatus, sent and tabbed
I've just looked over the Makefiles very briefly, so I may have overseen something.
Note: I just picked out the "biggest" programs.

sbase does it but I haven't looked closer.
