- I have just installed the GNU shell utilities 1.7 on Linux 0.96c-pl1,
- using GCC 2.2.2. They compile on first try without changes, but the
- first program I tried crashed: "date"
-
- The fix is simple, after the configure run just add -DHAVE_TZNAME.
- Otherwise, a function char *timezone() is used, and in Linux,
- timezone is a long int variable!
-
- People who are interested in it may improve configure (or Linux), I
- don't have the time for it.
