Yep, that's broken. But new enough mingw now provides 'struct timespec'
via <time.h> (or rather, mingw + winpthreads provides pthread_time.h
which gets included by both <time.h> and <pthread.h>), whereas the
broken localtime_r is only provided by <pthread.h>.
I think the time.h checks are just fine, and what we really need to do
is to provide a wrapper <pthread.h> header that undoes the damage
directly when pthread.h is included, rather than indirectly via time.h.
Now that I've reproduced the problem myself, I hope to come up with a
solution soon.
