The above version of gpsd FTBFS on Hurd.
Tracker log suggests that this is caused by an implicit definition of strptime
in gpsd-3.27.5/libgps/gpsutils.c, which nonetheless correctly includes <time.h>.
$ rgrep strptime /usr/include/
/usr/include/time.h:extern char *strptime (const char *__restrict __s,
/usr/include/time.h:extern char *strptime_l (const char *__restrict __s,
/usr/include/c++/15/bits/chrono_io.h: // strptime behaves
differently for %b and %B,
/usr/include/c++/15/bits/locale_facets_nonio.h: * specified for
strftime(3)/strptime(3). The actual parsing
/usr/include/c++/15/bits/locale_facets_nonio.tcc: // Expand a strptime format
string and parse it. E.g., do_get_date() may
The source code however includes this comment:
/* The strptime prototype is not provided unless explicitly requested.
* We also need to set the value high enough to signal inclusion of
* newer features (like clock_gettime). See the POSIX spec for more info:
