Hello, dc3dd fails to build in Debian for the armhf architecture, as reported at: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1069507

What triggered the build failure is the t64 transition: the size of the time_t type used to be 32-bit for the armhf architecture, and now it's 64-bits. More details at: https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time

After some research, I found out that the build can be fixed by applying this gnulib patch from 2009: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=a68c9ab3cfc8ac7cf2a709b0c1aa93229f8635e6

Can you please confirm that it seems to be the right fix for this issue? Thanks in advance!

Arnaud

    Just commenting to let people know I have not forgotten about this. I'm looking into how to test this; I don't have ready access to the hardware in question.
