Andy, I'm ok with the idea of the patch, but it needs to be integrated
into the code base a little differently.  The timegm function should
be put into a separate file in missing_d/timegm.c.  Then replace.c
should be adjusted to include it #ifndef HAVE_TIMEGM.  The code itself
should be adjusted to also check for mktime_gz, something like:

        time_t timegm(struct tm *tm)
        {
        #ifdef HAVE_MKTIME_GZ
                // code here
        #else
        #error "neither timegm nor mktime_gz avaliable. sorry"
        #endif
        }

Can you do that and post the revised patch for review?

Much thanks!

Arnold
