Re: [bug-gawk] mktime(3) not detected on FreeBSD with -static

[arnold]

Hi.

Thanks for the report.

This is an issue in the Autoconf AC_FUNC_MKTIME macro which gawk uses.
I am forwarding this to the bug-autocof list, in the hope that they
can help.

I will try to add a README file in the gawk distribution about this
issue until there's a new Autoconf release that fixes it...

Thanks,

Arnold
