For the record, builds with mipsisa64-elf fail with:
libgfortran/intrinsics/time_1.h:99:1: error: static declaration of ‘localtime_r’ follows non-static declaration
newlib/libc/include/time.h:61:12: note: previous declaration of ‘localtime_r’ was here
This is a long-standing problem. It got stalled a while ago because of
a disagreement (in my eyes anyway) about how libgloss targets should be
handled. We started down the path of using -T<target>.ld, so that they
could be treated like other targets. But I preferred (and still prefer)
the idea of making libgfortran handle newlib in the same way as libstdc++,
or disabling libgfortran if we don't care. I think Rask Ingemann
Lambertsen also had a patch that used a config.cache-style approach.
