I don't have a 5.3-STABLE system to confirm but if it doesn't return -1
it is wrong.

What timestamp should it return? 2004-11-02 00:00:00 doesn't exist for
you, therefore there is no possible value for seconds since epoch that
will convert to this time. The manpage states:
until tm_mon and tm_year are determined. The mktime() function returns
the specified calendar time; if the calendar time cannot be represented,
it returns -1;
Since 2004-11-02 00:00:00 cannot be represented, then it should return -1.
Maybe you should explain why having mktime() correctly report an error is
a problem for you.
