Thanks, but this cannot be done for all MinGW builds. There's mingw.org's MinGW (which is what I use), and its default is to use 32-bit time_t values. If you use this change with that MinGW, Make will likely crash at run time, because various libraries it is linked against use a different time_t in stat calls. So this condition: > -#if defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER > 1200 > +#if defined(__MINGW32__) || (defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER > 1200) must be rewritten to catch only MinGW64 builds. Which would mean a more fine-grained testing of the value of __MINGW_MAJOR_VERSION etc.
