The issue arose only because I used CVS to get the code:

        CVSROOT=:pserver:...
        cvs -z3 co -r cvs1-12-10 ccvs -d cvs-1.12.10
        cd cvs-1.12.10
        ./configure
        make

and ommited the "touch lib/getdate.c" command.  When stable compiled and
feature didn't seemed to justify the wrong conclusion.

Apologies to everyone for not thinking this one out.

One of the many things I hope to do *someday*. :)
