This appears to be a Gnulib problem of some kind.  See:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2016-07/msg00012.html

I believe that after updating gnulib, one of the modules we pulled in
added this mktime-internal dependency.  It should be built on platforms
that require it, and not otherwise.  It appears that your platform
requires it but is not building it; irritating!  

I just updated Gnulib again today; I wonder if it fixes this problem.
Are you able to build from git?  If so can you try the stable-2.0
branch?
