(underlying_strftime): Set the buffer to a nonzero value before calling strftime, and check to see whether strftime has set the buffer to zero. This lets us distinguish between an empty buffer and an error. I'm installing this patch by hand now; it will be superseded whenever the glibc sources are propagated back to fsf.org.

/* prefix-args.c - echo each argument, prefixed by a string.
   Jim Blandy <[e-mail]> - September 1992

   When using GCC 2 as the linker in the build process, options
   intended for the linker need to be prefixed with the "-Xlinker"
   option.  If an option takes an argument, we need to use -Xlinker
   twice - once for the option and once for its argument.  For
   example, to run the linker with the options "-Bstatic" "-e"
   "_start", you'd need to pass the following options to GCC:

   -Xlinker -Bstatic -Xlinker -e -Xlinker _start.

   The Emacs makefile used to use a Bourne Shell `for' loop to prefix
   each linker option with "-Xlinker", but 1) the for loop was hairier
   than one might hope because it had to work when there were no
   arguments to pass to the linker - the shell barfs on a loop like
   this:

       for arg in ; do echo -Xlinker "$arg"; done

   and 2) the whole compilation command containing this loop seems to
   exit with a non-zero status and halt the build under Ultrix.

   If I can't write a completely portable program to do this in C,
   I'm quitting and taking up gardening.  */
