Good news!

Isn't it the `inline' thing that made it work?  You did not include
`config.log' and `config.h': normally, these should already define
`inline' as `__inline__'.

And isn't `-O2' ignored by xlc?

Besides, can you explain what `_USE_IRS' is about and whether it's
needed?  Same for `-brtl'.

These are the only two failures!  ;-)

Can you show the result of the following Scheme expressions in Guile:

  1. (strftime "%z" (gmtime 0))

  2. (begin
       (putenv "TZ=GMT+0")
       (tzset)
       (let ((tm (localtime 86400)))
         (strftime "%z" tm)))

  3. (begin
       (putenv "TZ=EST+5")
       (tzset)
       (let ((tm (localtime 86400)))
         (strftime "%z" tm)))

Thanks a lot for your help and perseverance!

Ludo'.
