Thanks for the free advertising  (in case anyone wonders, I moderate the 
above mentioned echo)

Load effective address of ebp-4 into eax, in other words the equivalent of 
mov eax,ebp followed by sub eax,4.

the above code sets up a stack frame

assigns 8 bytes on the stack for local variables
 JW>         leal -4(%ebp),%eax
load the address of a certain local variable (t) at ebp-4 in eax
 JW>         pushl %eax
and push it as a parameter to time()
 JW>         call time
and call time()
 JW>         addl $4,%esp
free the pushed parameter
 JW>         leal -4(%ebp),%eax
load the same address again in eax
 JW>         pushl %eax
and push it again as a parameter to localtime()

call localtime()

and free the pushed parameter again
