 IIUC unfortunately upstream still has not applied this pull request
 or parts of them.
 
 I've ben hit by this bug for several times, but this time I would
 like to use date builtins in jq... ...so here you can find that
 part of the pull request applied to devel/jq with a candidate commit
 message:
 
  <https://www.NetBSD.org/~leot/pkgsrc-patches/jq-pkg-52460.patch>
 
 The possible controversial change is a pretty big patches/patch-configure
 that is unfortunately unavoidable due AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS,
 but IMHO it's better to have that than to depends to `autoconf'
 for devel/jq.
 
 
 If there are no feedbacks in a week or so I would like to commit
 it.
 
 
 Thank you again very much SODA, Takehiko and Kimihiro for investigating
 and fixing that!
