Solution provided by Stéphane CHAZELAS on c.u.s. for systems that don't have BSD/GNU-like utilities (see tinyurl.com/yo8yap for more details):

IFS='
'
timestamp=/tmp/__is_6_hours_old__$$
TZ=GMT touch -t `TZ=GMT+6 date +%Y%m%d%H%M.%S` $timestamp ls -1drt `find . -mtime -1 -type f -print` $timestamp | sed -e "   \,$timestamp,q
  s/[\"'\\\\[:blank:]]/\\\\&/g" | xargs rm -f
