NetBSD ss20.dolbeau.name 9.0 NetBSD 9.0 (GENERIC.MP) #0: Fri Feb 14 00:06:28 UTC 2020  mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/GENERIC.MP sparc
>Description:
'wmweather' is broken on architecture where sizeof(long) < sizeof(time_t), as it passes a pointer to a 'long' (4 bytes on NetBSD/sparc) to time(), which takes a pointer to a time_t (8 bytes).

On NetBSD/sparc said long is not 8-bytes aligned, leading to a 'Bus error' due to a misaligned load (rather than a stack corruption).
>How-To-Repeat:
start wmweather on NetBSD/sparc -> Bus error.
>Fix:
I have a patch that I will submit in a follow-up e-mail, which introduce an extra time_t variable to avoid the issue.
