A struct tm is built by mktime,

The Standard does not require this. It's perfectly feasible (and
commonplace) for people to roll their own struct tm objects. Nor
is mktime the only standard function that builds a struct tm.

I had the impression (possibly wrong) that the functions that
created a struct tm operated on unspecified format system data, and
thus had to be part of the library. In light of that I considered
any other method to be an extension, whose correctness is entirely
up to the extender.
