Well here's an old article that I saved that referred to the missing
"daylight" variable from ctime(3C) in /lib/shlib.ifile.

|Yes.
|
|This is the fix that I used, but I can't find the original article
|that suggested it. It seems to work.
|
|Put a copy of the shlib.ifile in the ...news/src directory. Edit
|this local copy and add the line:
|
|daylight = 0x303658
|
|Change the Makefile to reference this local copy of shlib.ifile, and
|re-make.
|
|Obviously, 0x303658 is supposed to be the address where the
|"daylight" variable is stored. I have no first hand knowledge that
|this is true - I just took the first person's word for it. I'm
|running version 3.50 O/S, and my news has been operating with
|this fix for over 2 years.
