>Description:
	While trying to compile the YACL library, I noticed that
	NetBSD is lacking a gcvt(3) call and its family. While this is
	not a major problem (never noticed it's missing for a couple
	of years), it would be nice to have it added in some future
	release.

	I am not aware whether any standard requires the system to
	have it -- other Unix derivates don't say "conforming to
	standard XYZ" at least.
