Bug#614882: {get,set}timeofday declared with incorrect '__nonnull' attribute

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.11.2-11
Severity: normal

On Linux it is valid to call {get,set}timeofday() with a null timeval
pointer and non-null timezone pointer.  This will get or set the
kernel's local time offset, which is used for converting timestamps on
brain-dead filesystems like VFAT.  settimeofday(NULL, tz) is also used
to fix the system time during the boot process if the RTC is set to
local time for compatibility with a similarly brain-dead operating
system.
