Summary: System/Time.hsc: timezone broken on AIX

Initial Comment:
This code in System.Time.hsc: 
 
#if !defined(mingw32_TARGET_OS) 
foreign import ccall unsafe "timezone" timezone :: Ptr 
CLong 
#endif 
 
Generates this error: 
 
../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -H16m -O -fglasgow-exts 
-cpp -Iinclude -#includeHsBase.h -funbox-strict-fields 
-package-name base -O -Rghc-timing     -c 
System/Time.hs -o System/Time.o  -ohi System/Time.hi 
/tmp/ghc34282.hc: In function `rgz2_entry':

gmake: *** [System/Time.o] Error 1 
 
My mktime() manpage shows this: 
 
void tzset ( ) 
 
extern long int timezone; 
 
extern int daylight; 
 
extern char *tzname[]; 
 
 
And config.h: 
 
#define HAVE_DECL_ALTZONE 0 
#define HAVE_TZNAME 1 
 
which appears to be correct.

6.2.1 release tarball from the website.

Fixed, I believe, by merging rev. 1.25 of Time.hsc into 6.2.2.

In CVS (HEAD), the line reads

foreign import ccall "time.h &timezone" timezone :: Ptr CLong

Which source-base are you using? CVS or a tarball, e.g. 6.2.1 from the web?
