I couldn't resist puzzling this one out. We can assume 0 <= tp->tm_mon < 12, so 
this should be a tad more efficient:

    DO_NUMBER (1, ((tp->tm_mon * 11) >> 5) + 1);

With gcc 6.2.0 -O2 x86-64, the former uses imull with 6 insns, the latter just 
leal with 4 insns. Perhaps GCC should be smart enough to figure this out on its 
own, but what would be the fun of that?
