Indeed. And the source file is copied over to the dist libgnu/ dir. But it is not compiled in. >> - strncasecmp undefined, referenced in strptime.c > > On which platform?

Nevertheless the strptime module has a dependency on strcase module, and - as in the case of chdir-long above - the source file is copied over to libgnu/ by the bootstrap script, but it is not compiled in libgnu.la. > >> Would anybody have any hint? > > Octave has a special build script for Windows, I recall, no?
