It doesn't look like a cmake vs autotools issue. I have rebuilt a clean 
checkout with autotools this morning and didn't run into the above. I had to 
set an environment variable TZ to "America/Los_Angeles" to get test-gnc-
datetime to pass, but with current master I have to do this as well with 
cmake/ninja.

I didn't test this. I have no system install of gnucash right now.
