mktime() problem when building print/a2ps

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

Strange problem...

Host and target are both an AMD64 NetBSD 9.99.99 build from sources
dated 2022-09-09 at 01:58:58 UTC.  Thepackages are all being built
in a chroot sandbox (as created with sysutils/mksandbox).  And my
pkgsrc itself is from today 2022-10-13 at 19:29:24 UTC.

All predecessor/dependency packages have been rebuilt from today's
source and installed in the sandbox.  When I get to print/a2ps, it
starts to run, and fails in configure.  The last thing in the log
file is

	...
	checking limits.h usability... yes
	checking limits.h presence... yes
	checking for limits.h... yes
	checking for working mktime...

and it never progresses beyond this point.  It appears to be in a
processor-bound loop making this check, and xosview reports that one
cpu (6% of a total of 16threads) is completely busy.  top(1) reports
that a process called ``conftest'' is running with 98.97% of one
thread.

I don't know what conftest is, but this sure appears broken!

Any suggestions?
