Yep, i'm aware of this. There are several build failures that the
debian buildd have picked up, not just this one. See current discussion
on xdotool-users for the ongoing saga. [0]
For this one (undefined reference to `clock_gettime' on kfreebsd
arches), it appears to be due to an overly-simplistic platform.sh script.
that script assumes we're using GNU libc (or a close variant) if uname
reports Linux, and BSD libc otherwise.
Obviously, for GNU/kFreeBSD arches, this isn't the case.
Upstream has indicated willingness to accept a patch for GNU/kFreeBSD,
but can't test it himself [1].
Can you propose a patch that seems reasonable?
Thanks for the triage,
