You want the libposix headers first, I think, but probably not crucial.

I cannot tell.  My version of time.in.h is only 250 lines long, so I
don't know what line 469 looks like.  My guess is some auto-editing
variation of:

_GL_FUNCDECL_RPL (gmtime_r, struct tm *, (time_t const *restrict __timer,
                                          struct tm *restrict __result)
                                         _GL_ARG_NONNULL ((1, 2)));
likely yielding:
struct tm * rpl_gmtime_r(time_t const *restrict __timer,
                         struct tm *restrict __result);

That be a gnulib bug.  I'll sync up the libposix branch just to be sure
it hasn't been fixed already.
