What can I say... It works on x86 and on arm, whether TZ is set or not.
There was a previous report of a gcc bug on PPC with respect to the
timezone data initialization code, as I mentioned in my first reply.

If you find a bug in the code, I'll gladly fix it.  If you find a
workaround for PPC, I'll look at it.  In the mean time, I'll put it
on my todo list.  But I honestly don't think I'll have the time to
look into it further for at least several weeks.
