There was no explicit mention of the platform, but from the word "fink" I guess it's MacOS X. The report was then already half analyzed in this thread: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-04/msg00168.html> The problem appears to be inside gnulib's __mktime_internal. It is still present after Paul's recent patches: On MacOS X 10.5, after configuring with CC="gcc -m64", I get: 000001010000.00 mismatch (-: actual; +:expected) --62167132800 +-62167219200 000012312359.59 return value mismatch: got 0, expected 1 FAIL: test-posixtm Whereas with CC="gcc -m32", I get a different failure: skipping 000001010000.00: result is out of range of your time_t skipping 000012312359.59: result is out of range of your time_t skipping 000101010000.00: result is out of range of your time_t 190112132045.51 return value mismatch: got 0, expected 1 skipping 190112132045.52: result is out of range of your time_t skipping 203801190314.08: result is out of range of your time_t skipping 999912312359.59: result is out of range of your time_t skipping 6812131415.16: result is out of range of your time_t FAIL: test-posixtm Bruno -- In memoriam Rudolf Hilferding <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Hilferding> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
