Title: unix/tcl.m4: implicit declaration of exit() in timezone variable checks
Type: Bug Version: 8.6.12

Description:

The checks for long timezone variable and time_t timezone variable may both erroneously fail due to compilers which by default use -Werror=implicit-function-declaration (e.g. Xcode 12 and newer on macOS, as required by ARM64 ABI), because the exit() function is used without #include <stdlib.h>.

To correct this: in unix/tcl.m4, either stdlib.h should be included for these tests, or return 0; used instead of exit (0);. Then unix/configure should then be regenerated to pick up the changes.

Fixed in all branches (8.6 and up) now. Thanks for the report and for the suggested fix!
