As a workaround, you can use the adodb_time library, that uses PHP code
to calculate negative timestamps.

unix timestamp behavior for negative values is undefined

it *may* map to pre-1970 dates but there is no guarantee
whatsoever

glibc-2.2.5-34 and greater has been changed to return -1 for dates <
1970.  This used to work.  The problem exists with RedHat 7.3 and 8.0

echo (mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1960));  // prints -1
