I've added a simple configure check on tm_gmtoff and if it does not exist I fall back to the global "timezone" variable.

It should be available in the yesterday's snapshot.

-- Bazsi

I downloaded the latest snapshot and gave this a try on my Solaris 8 system. I see the check being made in the configure script, but it still errored off when trying to compile misc.c. It looks like there may also be a reference (in the code) to another non-existent variable (tm_isdst). Anyway, that execution stream follows. Let me know if there's something that I can send you that would help you to figure this out. I'm glad to do so.
