Subject: bug#45695: Date does not work for dates before 1970

On linux, I can use  date +%s --date "31 Dec 1969"
The result is -90000
A negative number

But when I try it on Windows (using GNUWin32) it gives me an error -
"invalid date"

I downloaded date for windows from this link -
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm

Is there any fix for Windows?
