After implementing the missing functions, the linker complained about
duplicate copies of mktime, one in libc.a, and the other in gnulib's
mktime module, but I can't disable the mktime module, because the timegm
module doesn't work without mktime_internal, which is only defined in
mktime.c.

There is a mechanism for only building `mktime_internal' by only
defining `NEED_MKTIME_INTERNAL', but I don't know how to use it inside
gnulib.mk.

Or is some file supposed to include both timegm.c and mktime.c, or
something to that effect?

Thanks.
