Quoting the FAQ...
Why does localtime() return times in UTC even when I have my timezone
set?
The uClibc time functions get timezone information from the TZ
environment variable, as described in the Single Unix Specification
Version 3. See
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html
for details on valid settings of TZ. For some additional examples,
read http://www.uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2002-August/006261.html in
the uClibc mailing list archive.
