AIUI, POSIX (Issue 8) suggests to add 86400*tm_yday to tm_sec and
using mktime to normalise it.

If you don’t start at 00:00:00 UTC, it should even work for systems
that honour leap seconds (say start at 1st January, 12:00:00 UTC;
the result may than be not at 12:00:00, but the day should be right).
