Sorry for the delay in responding.  I have been travelling the last week 
or so.

I understand the problem with __DATE__ and __TIME__, but I think I may 
be missing something.

Does this cause a failure to build for you?  I built it before I sent 
the patch and I just pulled your latest staging-next changes and built 
with no errors.  I want to make sure I address the problem you are seeing.

Thanks,
Ken
