Hi Thomas,
i m working on postgres for 2 new platforms, NetWare 6 and a future
64 bit OS that is under development.
On NetWare timezone is defined as a global variable, seconds from GMT.
But wait, gettimeofday will be added to NetWare so there isn t any
change neccessary anymore.
On the other hand the struct isn t used in the mentioned functions,
so for
"correctness" it could be added.
Thanks for your answers

What system? How is timezone defined for that system? Is it something
completely new and different, or a variant which we already handle in
other places but not for this case?

...
So what "one argument" does gettimeofday() have? Where does "tz" come
from if it is not defined here? Does it become a global variable?
Where
is it declared?
afaik the nabstime.c usage of gettimeofday() has been in the
PostgreSQL
code for quite a while, so I'm suprised that this is a problem on the
new mystery platform ;)
