In the mean time I managed to get a patch working which indeed did just
that. However, I still would like to get SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to be
supported, because that is what is spec'ed, so I think that it is the
only variable that makes a chance of being accepted by upstream.

For review, I added my current patch. I saw somewhere¹ that you can
change the date reported by Date via a "With TS do" construction. So I
think it would be great if we can convert SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in
fpcsrc/compiler/scanner.pas to fpc time before calling getdatestr.

I haven't tried if I have the same issue with the DateUtils unit in this
file, but I expect the underlaying problem to be the same. I will still
try to figure this out, so thank Abou for the idea.
