I neglected to include the ChangeLog updates in the previous patch.
Here they are.
Dan Jakubiec wrote:
strptime() initializes the contents of its "struct tm" return
structure at the beginning of the function. However, several of the
strptime() format specifiers result in recursive calls to strptime()
which then clobber any values which were parsed earlier in the format
string. In particular, the following format specifiers call
strptime() recursively: %D, %r, %R, %T, %X, %x.

+ * src/strptime.cxx: Removed the initialization of the struct tm fields
+ to prevent clobbering of time values when using the following format
+ specifiers: %D, %r, %R, %T, %X, %x.

* include/time.h: Added CYGBLD_ATTRIB_STRFTIME_FORMAT where
appropriate so the compiler does more checking.
