#serial 5

dnl From Jim Meyering.
dnl
dnl See if gettimeofday clobbers the static buffer that localtime uses
dnl for it's return value.  The gettimeofday function from Mac OS X 10.0.4,
dnl i.e. Darwin 1.3.7 has this problem.
dnl
dnl If it does, then arrange to use gettimeofday and localtime only via
dnl the wrapper functions that work around the problem.
