We're talking about the difference between wintertime and summertime in any given locale. TBH I think I'd rather just put a gmt_mktime() which uses my trick of looking at tm.tm_gmtoff after the mktime call into a separate file wrapped in #ifdef GLIBC and let anyone else who really cares about their own non-BSD-compatible system worry about whether it works there and fix it up accordingly. -- dwmw2
