Subject: [PATCH] Define _GNU_SOURCE for a declaration of strptime

This is needed for compatibility with future C compilers which reject
implicit function declarations by default.  Without _GNU_SOURCE (or a
similar feature test macro), <time.h> does not declare the strptime
function, and compilation can fail.
