Perhaps your bootstrap script is calling gnulib-tool without the 
--conditional-dependencies option? If so, you might try adding it. But 
please see the Gnulib manual's discussion of this option, a discussion 
that uses timegm as its example (I vaguely recall that timegm was the 
motivation for conditional dependencies...):

The Emacs build uses --conditional-dependencies; the Coreutils build 
does not, since it also uses --with-tests.
