Comment(by kristerw):
I would guess this is with NetBSD-current...
NetBSD changed time_t to become a 64-bit type shortly after NetBSD 5 was
released, and this caused some breakage for ghc. I sent patches for most
of the issues before 6.12 was released, but I know of at least one more
place that need to be updated: ghc think that struct timeval look like
struct timeval {time_t tv_sec; time_t tv_usec;};
while it according to POSIX look like
struct timeval {time_t tv_sec; suseconds_t tv_usec;};
which matter on NetBSD now, as time_t is 64 bits, and suseconds_t is 32
bits.
I just tried some patches for this, but it does not seem to solve all
problems... :(
I'll investigate some more, but will probably not have the time until late
next week...
