# Gnulib replacements as needed

+# If clock_gettime() is available, liblzma with pthreads may use it, and
+# xz may use it even when threading support is disabled. In XZ Utils 5.4.x
+# and older, configure checked for clock_gettime() only when using pthreads.
+# This way non-threaded builds of liblzma didn't get a useless dependency on
+# librt which further had a dependency on libpthread. Avoiding these was
+# useful when a small build was needed, for example, for initramfs use.
+#
+# The above reasoning is thoroughly obsolete: On GNU/Linux, librt hasn't
+# been needed for clock_gettime() since glibc 2.17 (2012-12-25).
+# Solaris 10 needs librt but Solaris 11 doesn't anymore.
