That doesn't count -- that timezone is honoured all year round. We're
talking about the difference between wintertime and summertime in any
given locale.

TBH I think I'd rather just put a gmt_mktime() which uses my trick of
looking at tm.tm_gmtoff after the mktime call into a separate file
wrapped in #ifdef GLIBC and let anyone else who really cares about their
own non-BSD-compatible system worry about whether it works there and fix
it up accordingly.
