[PATCH] bfd: add missing include <time.h>

[PATCH] bfd: add missing include <time.h>

[Clément Chigot]

bdfio.c is defining bfd_get_current_time which is returning a time_t.
This type is defined in time.h and thus, must be included in bfd main
header to avoid undefined type when include bfd.h.

Note that most of the time, <time.h> is pulled by <sys/stat.h> already
included in bfd.h. That's why it went unnoticed.

Hi Nick,

This patch looks trivial. Though, I'm wondering if binutils might
support some non-posix systems where this new include could trigger
issues. Do you think this could be the case ?

FWIW a good resource for answering this kind of question is the gnulib
manual.  It normally documents when a header is missing or when it
doesn't define something that it ought to.

On this basis time.h seems safe:

Thanks for the tip and for checking. :-)

Ah - that explains it.

Patch approved - please apply.
