+ [BZ #535]
+ * time/difftime.c: Fix a double-rounding bug on hosts with
+ 64-bit time_t and long double being IEEE double. Also, port
+ to more valid C99 hosts, even those that have padding bits.
+ Don't include <values.h> since it is marked as an obsolescent
+ interface. Include <limits.h>, <float.h>, and <stdint.h> instead.
+ (TYPE_BITS, TYPE_FLOATING, TYPE_SIGNED): New macros.
+ (subtract): New static function, that works correctly without
+ double-rounding, even on hosts with 64-bit time_t. Also cater
+ to hosts with padding bits.
+ (__difftime): Use it. Use DBL_MANT_DIG and LDBL_MANT_DIG to
+ determine whether floating types are wide enough: the old
+ test (which used sizeof) could in theory report the wrong results
+ on hosts with padding bits in floating-point values.
