On the other hand, when I create a gnulib testdir with an

it fails during the configure stage on MSVC (both 64-bit and 32-bit):

It sounds like we need a gl_YEAR2038 to go along with the existing gl_LARGEFILE. However, I don't know what should be in gl_YEAR2038 as I don't use MSVC.


Also, maybe it is necessary to distinguish the use of these two Autoconf
macros without and with Gnulib?
   - Without Gnulib, they could both fail on MSVC.
   - But with Gnulib, they should both succeed on MSVC.

That is what would happen if we could write a gl_YEAR2038, I assume.
