Subject: * m4/mktime.m4 (bigtime_test, main): Move alarm from
X-Git-Tag: merging-into-user-dep-gen~52
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b2da6a4d5a89300d0dcaae4872a2accf74f8c999;p=thirdparty%2Fautomake.git

* m4/mktime.m4 (bigtime_test, main): Move alarm from
bigtime_test to main, since Solaris 7 (64-bit) mktime loops
even outside of bigtime_test.  Use a time limit of 60 seconds
for the whole test, not 10 seconds per iteration.
