Re: [HACKERS] Date/time on glibc2 linux

Hello!

I think, finally, that the simplest way to solve this would be patch
configure, not datetime.c, dt.c and all that.
The struct tm on linux has tm_gmtoff and tm_zone, so it will be enough
if postgres' configure undefine HAVE_TZSET and HAVE_INT_TIMEZONE on glibc2.

Python's configure.in has the following:
# checks for structures
AC_HEADER_TIME
AC_STRUCT_TM
AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE
and this do all neccessary defines. I think postgres' configure will
require some more tricks.

Continue investigating...

Oleg.
