Re: GNU make/ Microsoft bug

[Paul D. Smith]

This has been discussed quite a bit on the bug-make lists (see the
archives).

There is no real fix, since the bug is in Windows, not in make.  I
believe you have these choices:

 1) Change your timezone from PST5PDT (or whatever) to GMT-9 (or
    whatever).  Since this uses a fixed offset from GMT, it's not
    affected by the DST calculation bug.

 2) Edit the GNU make code and remove the check, and rebuild make.

 3) Live with it for a week; they're just warnings.

Gotta love Microsoft: this bug was reported widely over two years ago,
but yet still exists in W2K even.  Now _that's_ service!
