The problem is that I need just a number of seconds (this is for
interfacing with other software which uses that Unix-like time
descriptions), so I cannot use the value which is broken down into
several components.
Moreover, the concept of leap seconds does not fit here neither (or
does it?).

Try this on GNU/Linux:

$ date +%s

I need to get the same number at the time the program is executed.
