In message <199610291921.LAA16622@shade.twinsun.com> so spake Paul Eggert (eggert):
If mktime returns -1 then that is a bug, but I can't reproduce the bug when building tzcode96l on Solaris 2.5.1. I used
make cc=gcc CFLAGS='-DHAVE_GETTEXT=1 -DHAVE_LONG_DOUBLE=1 -DHAVE_SETTIM EOFDAY=3 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DHAVE_UTMPX_H=1'
to build tzcode96l. mktime had the behavior described above (it returned 667529999 for the positive tm_isdst case).
Hmm, that is interesting. The problem may lie elsewhere then. I'll let you know what I find out. - todd
