How to fix libguile/stime.c on macOS Sierra build

问题:

enter link description hereThe build of guile-2.0.11 stops with the following error,

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_clock_getcpuclockid", referenced from:
  _scm_init_stime in libguile_2.0_la-stime.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see      invocation)

Googling around I found a bug report and patch. The bug report is here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2016-06/msg00252.html

The link to the patch is in the bug report. The patch is just a few lines so I just edited stime.c by incorporating the patch into stime.c, ran configure again and make again. Unfortunately the error remains unchanged.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently that patch has been superseded: see this post at bug-guile

Since the problem with stime.c has been fixed in subsequent Guile versions, I simply copied a later version of stime.c in the libguile directory (.../libguile/stime.c) and moved the original package version to stime_old.c. Then configure and make. The error no longer appears and the make runs to completion. I then did sudo make install and it appears to be ok.
