when I do "./configure --with-ns" on my Debian testing machine, it hangs
on "checking for working mktime..." for a minute, and finally concludes
that mktime is not working.
Does anybody know what's up with that?

It's some AC_FUNC_MKTIME/gcc thing. Eg:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2008/03/msg00261.html
I noticed Andreas applied some manual configure tweak in rev 1.277.

PS Probably running Debian testing's (patched?) autoconf will fix it.

Just for completeness... the same behaviour happens on Cygwin, using
gcc-4.3.1 and ./configure.
Cheers,
Angelo.

Same on Fedora 9 too.

It happens on all platforms with GCC 4.3. The solution is to regenerate
`configure' with a recent version of autoconf (2.62, or Debian's 2.61-7).
See http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.general/126299.

This will keep coming back (as it just has done) unless we require all
developers to use Debian, which is impossible, or change to
AC_PREREQ(2.62).
