-Subject: [PATCH] MCONFIG.in: handle CLOCK_GETTIME_LIB
-
-Commit 62bc243f1bfe623312a350e4cd0d2e17a69aac45 ("fuse2fs: might need
-librt") added a check for the clock_gettime() to verify whether linking
-with the librt library is needed or not to use this function.
-
-However, this commit forgot the change in MCONFIG.in that allows to
-define the make variable CLOCK_GETTIME_LIB from the CLOCK_GETTIME_LIB
-variable substituted by the configure script. Due to this, from a make
-perspective $(CLOCK_GETTIME_LIB) is always empty, and we get link
-failure on platforms where clock_gettime() is available in librt.
