Thanks, pushed - with minor nit in the commit message fixed:

- tests: Test more printf format specifiers.
+ tests: test more printf format specifiers

Thanks.

Hello,

set env(TZ) "UTC" indeed works.
normal braces, not curly ones.

Thanks. Fixed patch attached.

Hmm, but this would change the time zone for all tests.
This works for me:

Doesn't it for you as well?

Hello,

actually I had been wondering why the tests worked since my TZ is !=  UTC and assumed the testsuite already used a sanitized TZ. Well I realized that the chroot was using TZ=UTC. :-(

Anyway, yes that is exactly the fix that needs to be done.
env TZ=UTC make check
would work.

However I am failing at changing find's environment in the testsuite. Any idea?

What fails:
1) adding this to the top of find/testsuite/find.gnu/printf.exp
global env;
set env{TZ} &quot;UTC&quot;

2) modifying find/testsuite/config/unix.exp

Hello,

find attached a patch to check %T* (limited to strftime sequences mandated by POSIX), %M, %t, %y, and %Y in the testsuite.

Works for me (on Debian GNU/Linux).

I think that both the bug and the fix are obvious.  After the mentioned patch,
the code writes 12 bytes into a stack-allocated array of size 6 bytes:

  char fmt[6];

  // [...]

  /* Format the main part of the time. */
  if (kind == '+')
    {
      /* Avoid %F, some Unix versions lack it.  For example:
         HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Wed Feb 17 22:59:59 CST 2016
         Also, some older HP-UX versions expand %F as the full month (like %B).
         Reported by Steven M. Schweda <sms@antinode.info> */
      strcpy (fmt, "%Y-%m-%d+%T");

I believe that increasing size of the fmt array to 12 bytes will fix the bug.

Hello,

this is https://bugs.debian.org/873032 reported by Ryan <ryan@ddn.com>:
-------------------------------------
The findutils/find version now in buster 4.6.0+git+20170729-2 fails when I use find with -printf '%T+'.  If I change the time format away from + to @, it works fine.

Example bad run:
➜  find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -printf '%T+=%p\n'

Reproducing requires building find with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 in CPPFLAGS. I have bisected the issue, the point of breakage is not very surprising:
