Thanks, but if anyone knows any links I'd be grateful. I've Googled
every combination I can think of but without success :-(

Mmmm...this is where I may be revealing my ignorance :-o

Given that the kit apparently builds OK generally (it looks like
gettimeofday is only defined in CRTL post-VMS 7) I believe we should be
able to do without it, but I don't know how to set about excluding it.
Trawling through various postings suggests that even if I can cut it out
of the build I'm likely to hit problems in testing. Hints welcome!

Thanks
