Hi,

The gcli package has a testsuite with post-2038 dates, which fail on Hurd.

We explicitly set -D_TIME_BITS=64 in CFLAGS, which solves the problem
everywhere else (even i386), but on Hurd, this is silently ignored.

In /usr/include/features-time64.h there is only a comment that it is
unsupported, not even a warning.

Ah, indeed, that's the generic version.  We'd need to at least support
the redirection way, indeed.

reassign 1145140 libc0.3-dev
thanks

Hi,

The Hurd's libc SOVERSION is 0.3, so reassigning to the (hopefully)
correct package.
