Yes, for now, but once I add the strftime module, time_r.c will also be needed by strftime.c, and in that case MinGW will definitely need to worry about time_r.c. strftime is quite likely to be added. I've already coded it up and tested it, and it works fine on POSIXy platforms. I plan to add it to Emacs soon. Once it's in, Emacs's format-time-string function can start supporting higher-resolution time stamps. > .

The "issues" are either with the headers, or with the implementations of functions declared by the headers. > is it okay to compile gnulib sources in > lib/ without editing these 3 into the corresponding *.h files? If the MinGW headers and implementations are good enough, you should be OK without the .h files. I'd be surprised if that were true, though.
