bug#24681: undefined reference to `mktime_internal' on solaris sparc

["Christian Jullien" <eligis@orange.fr>]

Thank you Andy,

By stable-2.0 branch, if you mean guile-2.0.14.tar.gz, I'm afraid this issue is still there.

I'll be glad to help you and to make more tests (Btw I'm also a lisp compiler writer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenLisp)

This appears to be a Gnulib problem of some kind.  See:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2016-07/msg00012.html

I believe that after updating gnulib, one of the modules we pulled in added this mktime-internal dependency.  It should be built on platforms that require it, and not otherwise.  It appears that your platform requires it but is not building it; irritating!  

I just updated Gnulib again today; I wonder if it fixes this problem.
Are you able to build from git?  If so can you try the stable-2.0 branch?

Andy
