[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#434460: libbtctl: strptime() implicitly converted to pointer

[dann frazier]

Package: libbtctl
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Usertags: implicit-pointer-conversion

Our automated buildd log filter[1] detected a problem that is likely to
cause your package to segfault on architectures where the size of a
pointer is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64.

This is often due to a missing function prototype definition.

_XOPEN_SOURCE must be defined to use strptime. Though there is a
#define for this just before the time.h include, something else is
probably causing <time.h> to be included earlier and without the
_XOPEN_SOURCE prereq (I haven't dug too deeply into this).

A solution to this is to move the _XOPEN_SOURCE definition up higher
in the source file - however, this alone turns off other prototypes
including timegm(). The following patch defines _GNU_SOURCE instead,
which enables a superset of features.
