Fix build on i386. none

Description Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-07-20 14:34:53 UTC 
On i386 only (builds properly in my amd64 poudriere):

configure: error: in `/wrkdirs/usr/ports/archivers/gtar/work/tar-1.35':
configure: error: could not enable timestamps after mid-January 2038.
This package recommends support for these later
timestamps. However, to proceed with signed 32-bit
time_t even though it will fail then, configure with
'--disable-year2038'.
See `config.log' for more details
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to naddy@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/wrkdirs/usr/ports/archivers/gtar/work/tar-1.35/config.log" including the
output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to
provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. a
/usr/local/sbin/pkg-static info -g -Ea).
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/archivers/gtar

I may cobble a patch for this later.

Fix build on i386.
Comment 2 Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-07-20 15:01:03 UTC 
Hmm. CONFIGURE_ARGS_i386 doesn't take. Though, the warning says it will fail later anyway.

I'm not too concerned about this. I use amd64 here with i386 boot partitions for testing and a single i386 machine. None of the i386 partitions nor the i386 machine have been used for a while, only my i386 poudriere is currently used for testing. (Been toying with the idea of retiring all i386 here entirely.)

    archivers/gtar: fix build on i386

    Override a hidden safety check that stops the build on platforms
    that are not Y2038 safe.  FreeBSD/i386 still has a 32-bit time_t.

Thanks.  I missed that check because it is hidden in gnulib.  The --disable-year2038 option can be set unconditionally, it has no effect on Y2038-safe platforms.
