In the last "elif test" you show only part of the truth.  The whole
truth is this:

    if test $gl_cv_func_gettimeofday_posix_signature = almost; then
      gl_gettimeofday_timezone='struct timezone'
    elif test $gl_cv_func_gettimeofday_posix_signature != yes; then
      REPLACE_GETTIMEOFDAY=1

So "almost" does not trigger REPLACE_GETTIMEOFDAY=1, and the mystery
is not resolved.
