Well on AIX 4.3.3 the output from Lamar's earlier test program is:

The system thinks 11/30/1969 is a timestamp of -1

and tm_isdst is left at -1...

I could boot the machine into 5.0 too, but going by the AIX 5L
manpages it still returns -1:

Note: The mktime subroutine cannot convert time values before
00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970 and after 03:14:07 UTC, January 19,
2038.

And getting an Irix 5.3 box up and running would be a chore!
