Yes, but I don't know enough about Python to know what it

The current code in wafhelpers/check_sizeof.py seems to work.
There are 2 reasons I would like to keep and understand it. One is
general curiousity. It was commited by ESR and he is usually very good
about fixing crappy code. My best guess is that it was part of a large
chunk that was copie

NTP_SIZEOF_TIME_T is in the code 5 times, in just 3 places.

It would be really nice if we had a working example of a cross compile,
and something like a HOWTO-cross to document it, including the packages
that need to be installed.
It would be nice if option-tester could also do an install, bin-test, and
uninstall.
Best in a scratch directory.

The fix is to just remove that test. Just use sizeof(time_t) in the
code instead of trying to fig

Did you set the required defines first?

Those should be part of the POSIX environment.
At worst, we can clone stdbool.h and find the source for libm and grab the
parts we need.

This will be the tricky part. I'm expecting a small shim to translate

Building on windows will cause pain in the neck. Microsoft's SDK coaster image
is a gigabyte and a half compressed. However, after too much frustration, I
got an unrelated toy program to build on Linux.
Building NTPsec on Linux but for Windows would require us to either bring back
