Older versions of msys2 had _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS set in pthread_unistd.h, included from unistd.h. That would enable the declarations for gmtime_r and localtime_r in time.h. That's not the case anymore, and gmtime_r and localtime_r end up being undeclared, which subsequently leads to "miscompilations", for example, in datestamp(), where the result of localtime_r would be truncated and sign-extended before being passed to tm_to_time_t, leading to segfaults at runtime.
