I think this is too complicated.
The documentation says the default is posix-long-iso, and

An empty string is incorrect:
ay:~> TIME_STYLE= ls -l
ls: ambiguous argument `' for `time style'

Some values of TIME_STYLE can cause an infinite loop in mdate-sh if

Yes, there is the "until" loop (really strange!).

I can't expl
I tried to compile the findutils from the CVS tree (checked out a few
minutes ago). But make stalls here:
[...]
Making all in doc
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/vlefevre/software/findutils/doc'
ps says in particular:
