           Summary: testsuites/samples/nsecs/init.c breaks --disable-posix
           Product: RTEMS
           Version: 4.8
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: RTEMS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: cpukit
        AssignedTo: joel.sherrill at oarcorp.com
        ReportedBy: ralf.corsepius at rtems.org

../../../../../../../../rtems.orig/c/src/../../testsuites/samples/nsecs/init.c:77:
undefined reference to `clock_gettime'
../../../../../../../../rtems.orig/c/src/../../testsuites/samples/nsecs/init.c:78:
undefined reference to `clock_gettime'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Possible work-arounds: 
1. Build posix/src/clockgettime.c independently from --disable/enable-posix.
2. Disable the nsec test for --disable-posix

As clock_gettime is part of POSIX/SUSv (it is not part of the pthread
specification) and unconditionally defined in newlib, I am in favor of 1.

The traditional RTEMS workaround would be to move clockgettime.c (And probably
other clock*.c's) to libcsupport, but .. this breakdown (once more) exposes
another issue: the semantics of "posix"/"libposix" in RTEMS.

I for one always understood "posix"/"libposix" as synonym for "pthread support"
and interpreted "--enable/disable-posix" as configuration option to
enable/disable anything that requires pthreads.
