Hi Jeff,

How about the attached patch instead? It goes through and cleans up all the implementations as well so there is no need for the flag check.

This version of gettimeofday actually expects tz to point to a struct timezone and accesses the tz structure fields (i.e. tz->xxxxx). It now passes in a void pointer so I named the input parameter tzvp (vp for void pointer) and then just set the local pointer tz; this avoided having to change the rest of the code.

And why the casts? Too much c++ recently? :)


Just tired I'm afraid :)
