[Chicken-users] Chicken not buildable on Solaris 8 due to timegm() issue

In case I wasn't clear before:  Chicken cannot be built at all on
Solaris 8 (or other older SVR4 systems, probably) because they do not
have timegm, and the Linux workaround for it does not build either.
The other workaround I proposed doesn't work, period -- it was a brain
fart on my part.

I have kludged around the problem by replacing timegm with a routine
that always returns 0.  But this has to be fixed before Chicken can run
on Solaris 8.
