strftime is sufficiently universal that gnulib doesn't even bother to cope
with its absence.  I've never encountered a system where someone wanted to
build my software that didn't have it.

gnulib says this about the Windows implementation:

    The Windows C runtime library (which is used by MinGW) does not
    support the %e specifier (and possibly the other more recent SUS
    specifiers too, i.e., %C, %D, %h, %n, %r, %R, %t, and %T).

My recommendation would be to even remove the replacement version and
assume that the system has it, but ensure that you have a fallback format
that doesn't include any of the above specifiers.
