  To: libstdc++, Gcc-patches

When year_month_day_last::day() was implemented, Dr. Matthias Kretz realised
that the operation "& 1" wasn't necessary but we did not patch it at that
time. This patch removes the unnecessary operation.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

    * include/std/chrono: Remove &1 from year_month_day_last::day().
---

Previous versions of this patch failed to apply. I hope it works this time.

OK for trunk?
