There are really only 2 options here. 

1) mktime doesn't work on Mac OS X.
2) Mac OS X does not honour the TZ system variable correctly. 

Given that C example 29 used to work, I suspect mktime is OK. Does it
make any difference if you set TZ to be "UTC" rather than ""? 

Change 
  setenv("TZ", "", 1);
to
  setenv("TZ", "UTC", 1);

Perhaps it doesn't like the blank TZ string?
