Reported to the autoconf developers, but it badly breaks python2.3 on
HPUX 11.11.
The test for
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(mktime, strftime, strptime, select)
and some other time functions is broken on HPUX 11.11. The test
snippet
#ifdef __STDC__
# include <limits.h>
#else
# include <assert.h>
#endif
includes sys/time.h, which contains the declarations for the above
functions (among others). Changing this to
#if defined(__STDC) && !defined(__hpux__)
fixes this (although I don't know, if autoconf may use the "defined"
syntax). There is at least one more function not detected by this
change: gettimeofday. I didn't investigate yet, but hand edited
pyconfig.h.
Maybe the generated configure could be hand-edited for releases or a
note added for the platform specific notes.
