If that's still in the most recent C (in that form anyway) I'd be surprised,
as asctime() is more or less deprecated I think.

But if that is what is required, then the TOOL_DATE needs to be run with
LC_ALL=C (or LC_ALL=POSIX) so that you get the month name in English, rather
than whatever the local locale's short name for the month would be.

It is still a stupid format...
