LC_ALL=en_AU.utf8 emacs -Q -batch -eval '(message "%s" (format-time-string "%x"))'outputs "23/01/20", which is the same thing that the shell command "LC_ALL=en_AU.utf8 date +%x" outputs. I don't have easy access to macOS so I'll need your help to debug this.
I suggest that you build Emacs with debug symbols and with optimization off (e.g., "make clean; make CFLAGS='-g3 -O0'"), and then run it under a debugger, and plant a breakpoint on the nstrftime function and then single-step and see what goes wrong. Something like this:
$ make clean $ make CFLAGS='-g3 -O0' $ gdb src/emacs (gdb) b nstrftime (gdb) r -Q -batch -eval '(message "%s" (format-time-string "%x"))' (gdb) n (gdb) n ...This will help us see whether the bug is in Emacs or in the underlying strftime function.
