Given that date is not a Bash builtin, I donât know why thatâs even on the table.
The Cygwin DLL *is* involved, but a problem in the key function (time(2)) would break an *awful* lot of software, so I canât see it being the source of the change.
More likely, the change is in newlib or the terminal I/O code.
What do you get from âstrace -fq date +%sâ?
