Gnulib module: mktime
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
On native Windows platforms (mingw, MSVC), this function works incorrectly
when the environment variable @code{TZ} has been set by Cygwin.
@item
@code{mktime} may go into an endless loop on some platforms.
@item
@code{mktime} may occasionally return wrong results on some platforms.
@end itemize
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
Native Windows platforms (mingw, MSVC) support only a subset of time
zones supported by GNU or specified by POSIX. @xref{tzset}.
