I just updated my Perl to patchlevel 6.  I ran into a bug I didn't see
when it was patchlevel 1.

In compiling perl.c, my compiler (gcc 1.35) choked on a redefinition of
struct tm in the include file time.h.  I tracked it down to some
convoluted #ifdef-ing in perl.h.  I fixed it by removing a line in
perl.h.  I think I have reconstructed it correctly below, but in any
event the only change was to delete the flagged line (which I may not
have restored exactly -- if so, you can easily tell).

Everything else worked as expected: four files had to be compiled by
hand because my 3b1 doesn't have enough virtual memory for the gcc
optimizer in full cry, but 'make test' is now completely clean.


- #if defined(TMINSYS) || defined(I_SYSTIME)
- #include <sys/time.h>
- #ifdef I_TIMETOO
- #include <time.h>
- #endif
- #else
- #include <time.h>
- #ifdef I_SYSTIMETOO
- #include <time.h>        <-- this is the line I deleted.
- #endif
- #endif

- #include <sys/times.h>
