On the other hand, when I create a gnulib testdir with an AC_SYS_YEAR2038_REQUIRED invocation: ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=... --single-configure year2038-required stat it fails during the configure stage on MSVC (both 64-bit and 32-bit):
It sounds like we need a gl_YEAR2038 to go along with the existing gl_LARGEFILE. However, I don't know what should be in gl_YEAR2038 as I don't use MSVC.
Also, maybe it is necessary to distinguish the use of these two Autoconf macros without and with Gnulib? - Without Gnulib, they could both fail on MSVC. - But with Gnulib, they should both succeed on MSVC.
That is what would happen if we could write a gl_YEAR2038, I assume.
