Yes, this would be expected, but:

build@...atros:~ $ cat a.c
#include <time.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    return 0;
}
build@...atros:~ $ gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wall a.c -o a
In file included from a.c:1:0:
/usr/include/time.h:226:5: error: unknown type name '__locale_t'
build@...atros:~ $ gcc  -Wall a.c -o a
build@...atros:~ $

build@...atros:~ $ vim a.c
build@...atros:~ $ cat a.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	return 0;
}
build@...atros:~ $ gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wall a.c -o a
build@...atros:~ $


A bug in glibc headers dependency?  Or time.h really must be included
only after explicit stdlib.h, which was not forced by our old glibc?

Thanks,
