Please comment out constants in header files for features not being supported yet. And remove stubs??

[Svante Signell]

Hello,

Testing the command host <address> results in 
time.c:118: Invalid argument
timer.c:634: fatal error: RUNTIME_CHECK(isc_time_now((&now)) == 0)
failed
Aborted (core dumped)

Looking into the problem reveals that bind9 is built with the wrong
option clk_id for clock_gettime(): CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE is used
instead of CLOCK_REALTIME. This is shown in the source code for
lib/isc/unix/stdtime.c and lib/isc/unix/time.c:
#if defined(CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE)
#define CLOCKSOURCE CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE
#elif defined(CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST)
#define CLOCKSOURCE CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST
#else /* if defined(CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE) */
#define CLOCKSOURCE CLOCK_REALTIME
#endif /* if defined(CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE) */

Searching for CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE in the header files reveals:
/usr/include/i386-gnu/bits/time.h:
/* Identifier for system-wide realtime clock, updated only on
ticks.  */
# define CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE          5

The problem with that option is that it is not yet supported, resulting
in EINVAL and a crash message on the console: /hurd/crash: host
<address> crashed ...

Recompiling bind9 commenting out the definition of
CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE in time.h makes the crash go away.
host <numeric address> works fine :)

However, another crash happens (still to be further investigated): host
ftp.sunet.se run in gdb shows:

      abort ();


Note: Rebuilding bind9 required some fixes:
1) Build clisp-2.49.20180218+really2.49.92-3 without tests. (or find
the failing test(s), and fix). Provides: clisp-fasl-loader-20100806
2) Build xindy-2.5.1.20160104-8 with the built clisp.
3) Rebuild bind9 with the newly installed versions of clisp and xindy.

There are other packages falsely believing that some features are
available when they are not. It would be good to hide from the
appropriate header files.

Maybe even the stubs, like: posix_fadvise, acct, getrandom,
msg{ctl,get,rcv,snd}, sem{ctl,op,get}, vhangup, pthread_getcpuclockid,
etc from gnu/stubs.h should be hidden too?
