#10151: timegm function not available on QNX

Milestone:  To Be Determined             |  Component:  chrono
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                               |
-----------------------------------------+---------------------
 Several tests including test_7868_d fail to compile on QNX 6.5.0 because
 the non-standard timegm function isn't available. The attached patch adds
 QNX to the set of environments where internal_timegm() is used instead.

 Failure message:

 QNX650-SP1-x86-boost-bin-v2-libs-chrono-test-test_7868_d-test-
 qcc-4-4-2_x86-debug-debug-symbols-off.html

 Wouldn't it make more sense to use this non-standard function only when it
 is known to be available rather than the other way around? Is there even a
 reason to use it over internal_timegm()?
