Howdy:

I had a little trouble compiling time-1.4 under AIX 3.2 on an RS/6000.
The file time.c requires that the type "union wait" be defined, which
is done in /usr/include/sys/m_wait.h:

======================================================================
union wait
{
  ...
};
======================================================================

Unfortunately, time.c includes /usr/include/sys/wait.h, which
*conditionally* includes m_wait.h:

======================================================================
#ifdef _BSD
#include <sys/m_wait.h>
#endif /* _BSD */
======================================================================

I fixed the problem with this simple patch:

======================================================================
% diff -c time.c-dist time.c
*** time.c-dist Wed Oct 28 14:21:05 1992
--- time.c      Thu Oct 29 09:18:09 1992
***************
*** 42,47 ****
--- 42,51 ----
  #include "timeval.h"
  #endif
  
+ #ifdef _AIX
+ #define _BSD
+ #endif
+ 
  #ifdef HAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H
  #include <sys/resource.h>
  #include <sys/wait.h>
======================================================================

Hope this helps.
