* tests/date/date-debug.sh: Also allow NetBSD 10 mktime behavior.
Although NetBSD contradicts POSIX, POSIX is likely wrong here and
I vaguely recall that there’s a POSIX correction in progress
that will allow the NetBSD behavior.

cksum: port to Apple LLVM version 10.0.0
This compiler lacks support for the x86-64 VPCLMULQDQ instruction;
compiles fail with "error: invalid cpu feature string for builtin".
Problem reported by Peter Dyballa, and fix suggested by
Pádraig Brady <https://bugs.gnu.org/78562#8>.
* configure.ac (USE_AVX512_CRC32):
Also check that __builtin_cpu_supports ("vpclmulqdq") compiles.

maint: assume O_DIRECTORY
Recent changes in Gnulib guarantee O_DIRECTORY != 0.
* gl/lib/targetdir.c (target_directory_operand):
* src/dd.c (usage):
* src/ln.c (main):
Simplify now that O_DIRECTORY must be nonzero.
