It's marked non-conforming in time.h (see
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/head/include/time.h?view=diff&r1=144528&r2=144529
for the commit -- it was 1 year after the last activity was made to
this PR):
#if __BSD_VISIBLE
char *timezone(int, int); /* XXX XSI conflict */
void tzsetwall(void);
time_t timelocal(struct tm * const);
time_t timegm(struct tm * const);
#endif /* __BSD_VISIBLE */
This attached patch to the timezone(3) manpage makes the XSI
conformance `issue' more apparent (it might not be a good final
solution, but at least it documents the problem outside of GNATs).
As far as the option is concerned, yes it's required by BASE, and
we may or may not want to grab some of the bits from NetBSD to
properly rename this function for the purposes of resolving this
conformance issue, but that's a larger effort than documenting the
issue is (for now).
Thanks,
-Garrett
