This is how not to write platform independent code:

version(Posix)
{
//This should be in core.stdc.time, but it isn't, so
//we're declaring it here.
extern(C)
{
    extern __gshared char* tzname[2];
    extern __gshared int   daylight;
}
}


Breaks on FreeBSD because 'daylight' isn't defined in the standard C library.

Regards.

You're right. It's not standard C, but it _is_ Posix. I have no clue why FreeBSD wouldn't have it implemented. See bug# 4944.

Unfortunately, I don't have a machine with FreeBSD running, we don't have an autotester with FreeBSD running, and apparently no one with FreeBSD tested std.datetime before the release.
