I don't observe the problem with version 2010m on 64-bit RHEL with my GCC 4.5.1
installation.  After running the following commands:

  wget ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2010m.tar.gz
  wget ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2010m.tar.gz
  tar xf tzcode2010m.tar.gz 
  tar xf tzdata2010m.tar.gz 
  make TOPDIR=`pwd`/topdir ALL install
  TZ=`pwd`/topdir/etc/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles valgrind ./date

the output of the valgrind session is:
