Thank you Zack for filing this, also thank you Joseph for filing an
issue against GCC.  Your reports are perfect and prove that you understand
the problem.

My only concern is that both reports in austingroupbugs still refer to
the actual grammatical cases (genitive and nominative) which already lead
to some misunderstandings here in this list.  It has been stated that
it's more correct to refer to "the form correct when the month is used
to format a full date" and "the form correct when the month is named
by itself".  In some languages the genitive case exists and it's incorrect
to use it when formatting a full date.
