It would be great if you could get in with a debugger to see what exactly is going wrong. It's probably not an issue for diffutils, as it barely uses timespec at all and does not use timespec_sub. > On Solaris 9 Sparc with GCC 4.6 I still get this, probably because the > change you proposed in not in the release tarball.

We'll probably fix it properly in the long run, but simply not using --enable-gcc-warnings will avoid it for you now. > I would like to set up buildbot, to which repository?

That is indeed the right repository, and as for branch, please use "master". Thanks!
