Should I propose to retire the Fedora package (i.e., remove it from
future Fedora releases)?  It's really ancient, and I'm worried we do the
community a disservice here by misrepresenting the current state of the
project.

Anyway, I built the real sources with the instrumented compiler and
submitted

  configure.ac: Fix tzet typo for tzset
  <https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/660>

and it already got merged.  Thanks!

I found a couple of other places where implicit function declarations
were involved, but don't really know what to do with these.

That is probably an okay as a fix?

This is way more questionable.  I couldn't find the right header for
this declaration.

I think the call goes to the error function in
platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixMain.c, but its name is unfortunate because it
interposes the function of the same name in glibc (which as a different
prototype).

This is obviously the wrong fix because it's in generated code, but it
gets the build to pass.

The logged errors are:

You should be able to replicate this with unpatched GCC by building with
-Werror=implicit-function-declaration.  The instrumentation is only
really needed for cases where errors do not fail the build and tend to
be hidden (such as configure scripts).
