try src/gnome-utils/gnc-tree-model-account

Look again:

gboolean xaccAccountGetReconcileLastDate (const Account *account,
                                          time_t *last_date);

The "last_date" is a time_t* -- the result is put there.  The
return value is whether or not "last_date" is valid.
