I don't know. The test in question is FPTOOLS_ALTZONE in aclocal.m4 -
could you try the test program there by itself and see if you get the
expected results? Also, does config.log say anything helpful?

You should be able to 'cd ghc/includes && make' to carry on after
changing config.h, unless the new config.h affects anything you already
built (it shouldn't in the case of the timezone defines).

Ok, adding that shouldn't do any harm.

Fixed, thanks.

What version of readline do you have? The configure script checks for
version 4 and does the right thing (by the looks of it).

We don't have a variant of make clean that leaves the binaries and
libraries in place, unfortunately. You can go around by hand and delete
objects, but bear in mind that if you then do a 'make install' it will
probably try to rebuild them. I don't think there's a solution to this
one without plugging in some more disk space, sorry!
