There are at least 2 choices.
1) Set TZ=UTC and use mktime.
2) Write a special routine "mkgmtime".
The first is easy to do but may have some side effects. You have to
put the real value of TZ back. I am not sure if you would have to
call tzset yourself or not.
The second is not too hard and I have some code if you want. It works
but I haven't looked at it lately.
