Fix for compile time warning in binutils/nlmconv.c

Hi Guys,

  I am going to apply the patch below to fix a compile time warning
  when building nlmconv.c, although I am not sure if this is the
  proper way to fix the problem.  The reason is that I am not sure why
  the parameterless prototype for localtime() is included at all.
  Presumably there are build environments out there where this
  function is not prototyped, or the header containing the prototype
  is not pulled in.  To me this sounds like a configure problem, but
  for now I am keeping things simple.

Cheers
  Nick

	* nlmconv.c: Provide a full prototype for the localtime() function
	in order to avoid a compile time warning.
