Ye, you've said that twice now, but I haven't got to the bottom of it.
make check does not even compile/run for me, failing itself in the
ways I described to you.
I run Date.as with makeswf and gnash, and all the tests give the
expected results. That has been useful, but so far I am unable to
reproduce the bizzarre and version-dependent failures you describe,
nor can I imagine any reason for them. There is nothing
version-dependent in Date; all methods came in with Flash 5, which
suggests that the problem is elsewhere.

If you need a fast solution, I suggest removing or commenting out all
the test cases I put in for correct Date functionality, reducing it
once again to just checking for the existence of the methods, since it
appears to be tickling bugs in "make check". The code works fine
except for Date.UTC() not appearing as a runtime method as it should -
which depends on figuring out the AS method interface, which is why I
am trying to figure that out. It is the blocking point in my current
work.

Mind you, if the current "make check/dejagnu/expect/ming" stuff is so
badly broken as to impede progress in this way, it might be worth
ditching in favour of something simpler that works reliably, or maybe
stop taking what it says seriously.
