I would change the 'padding' variable to sbyte_count_t as well.
Can we simply eliminate the type byte_count_t, and replace its uses with sbyte_count_t? The code is already supposed to work just fine when the two types are both the same signed type (when FPRINTFTIME is defined). No practical uses of strftime will overflow ptrdiff_t but not size_t.
