getdate: never supplied by the system.

Gnulib and glibc getdate are not synced. There are extensions and bug fixes in gnulib's getdate that have not been ported to glibc. Therefore, use of the gnulib module intentionally avoids the glibc getdate at the moment.


HUH???!!!

$ nm /lib/libc.so.6 | grep getdate
0000000000085620 t __getdate_r
0000000000085b70 T getdate

If you want to use the glibc getdate instead of the gnulib version, then you should help starting the resynchronization process of pushing gnulib improvements back into glibc getdate.
