GNU make/ Microsoft bug

[George Esteves]

Greetings,

It seems that GNU make is affected the "April's Fool 2001" bug in the
Microsoft C Run-time Library. This bug has the effect on having Daylight
Savings time begin on April 8 instead of April 1, affecting the
condition of targets to be recompiled. This was causing targets not to
be rebuilt with the warning "target has modification time in the
future". We were using GNU make version 3.75 (on Windows 2000) since
then we upgraded to 3.79, with the same result. We are working on a fix
here..but I was wondering if there might be a patch available to correct
this problem? I know after next Sunday this becomes a non-issue, but it
sure will make this week goes by faster if there is a fix available.


Thank you,
