Sure, but can't you do something like the following (taken from
mktime.c)?  This minimizes the changes from libc and packages it
inside "#ifndef _LIBC" blocks that the libc maintainers can safely
ignore.  Admittedly it relies on undefined behavior since it defines
__something, but if that's a real problem we can fix it later.

#ifndef _LIBC
/* Portable standalone applications should supply a "time_r.h" that
   declares a POSIX-compliant localtime_r, for the benefit of older
   implementations that lack localtime_r or have a nonstandard one.
   See the gnulib time_r module for one way to implement this.  */
# include "time_r.h"
# undef __localtime_r
# define __localtime_r localtime_r
# define __mktime_internal mktime_internal
#endif
