Did a short test (as the alpine linux patch patches configure directly):

	$ wget https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/plain/main/cvs/mktime-configure.patch
	$ make cvs-patch
	$ cd build/cvs-1.12.13/
	$ patch -p 1 < mktime-configure.patch
	$ cd ../..
	$ make cvs
...still fails (as expected as the mktime check is a runtime check (?) which
is unfixable for cross-compile)...

Regards,
Peter
