Rather than fixing a just introduced function I would expect a patch
introducing strjoin() and then another one converting the time command
over to use it.

That's a bit hard to read. How about:
for (i = 0; i < arrlen; i++) {
p = stpcpy(p, arr[i]);
if (i < arrlen - 1)
p = stpcpy(p, separator);
}
That would also allow you to optimize the allocated buffer size above.
