- When I saw reports here that date-1.7 dumps core because of a configuration
- problem involving conflicting definitions of tzname, I was surprised because
- I hadn't encountered that problem myself.
-
- But, it turns out that the problem shows up in strftime() and I had removed
- strftime.o from the objects to be made in lib/Makefile in order to create a
- smaller binary. You can also remove getopt.o, getopt1.o and a few other
- things. If you don't feel like going to all this bother, Jim Weigand has
- already done it on his root disks.
-
- BTW, the configuration problem has been reported on gnu.utils.bug as it
- occurred on another platform as well.
