I would be reluctant to muck with system time. How about changing your builds to do faketime -f '+7d' make test or something like that? See http://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime (packaged for Ubuntu in the 'faketime' package). (Of course LD_PRELOAD-based solutions only work for Linux builds. I've no suggestions for other OSes.)
