What I'm getting from your response is I can use either version of zic and use the generated timezone data files on either platform.

For this kind of Valgrind error, you can get more information
if you rerun with valgrind option  --track-origins=yes
(default being no). This option is only available in recent
valgrind versions (>= 3.5 I think).

It should help to find the root cause of the issue.
