It's using C RTL calls. And cygcheck(1) is linked with msvcrt.dll,
not GNU, and therefore cygcheck(1) has Microsoft C RTL behavior.
Microsoft C RTL does not support the pathname syntax extension;
that's a GNU thing.
Exactly. That's why i suggested to use the UTC time zone (rather than
an implicit local one), which msvcrt.dll probably is able to provide
with no bug.
We also could go a little bit beyond cgf's suggestion in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00091.html
(to use `date(1)') and remove completely the
`Current System Time:' line in `cygcheck -s'. Already,
this time indication is not given under the
other cygcheck's options.
