This has been added to configure.in, but configure was not regenerated:

#define my_strftime nstrftime	/* for strftime.c */

I regenerated configure, so if you rerun configure and build
again it should compile.  MS Windows don't use configure (I think)
but I imagine someone that knows how that platform works can do the
proper adjustments.  src/strftime.c explains it:

/* When compiling this file, GNU applications can #define my_strftime
    to a symbol (typically nstrftime) to get an extended strftime with
    extra arguments UT and NS.  */
