Hi Michael,

many thanks for the bug report and test code - all very useful.  All
fixed in the latest gcc git.  I've included a few test programs in the
regression testsuite - one of which is:

  gcc/testsuite/gm2/iso/run/pass/m2date.mod

recreates the output of:

  $ date

using ISO SysTime and wrapclock,

regards,
Gaius
