Problem on system without gettimeofday

[Michael Goffioul]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile octave (which uses gnulib) with MSVC, but got
a problem related to a recent change introduced in the gnulib source
tree, namely 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=de4d0a383be20eb6cbeb09ecbd66a5514779b914

I think that because of the outer "if test $ac_cv_func_gettimeofday =
yes; then",
REPLACE_GETTIMEOFDAY can only be set to 1 on systems that already
provide an implementation of it.

Is this a bug? If not, what is supposed to happen on system that do not
provide gettimeofday?

Please Cc me directly, as I'm didn't subscribe to the mailing list.

Thanks,
Michael.
