Indeed; this explains it. Cross-compilation to native Windows was not really tested so far. > Maybe add more cases to m4/gettimeofday.m4 for 'action when > cross-compiling'? Yes, this is the required fix. I'll go through all ca. 280 cross-compilation guesses that we have in m4/* and update them for native Windows... As a workaround, in the mean time, please set the environment variables gl_cv_func_gettimeofday_clobber=no gl_cv_func_tzset_clobber=no when running configure. Bruno
