That's not very revealing, since it defers to libc for reading of
tzfiles.  Which is damned annoying, because it's liable to give only
32-bit behaviour when your tzfiles are 64-bit.  (On the other hand,
it'll equally well dump a zone defined by a POSIX $TZ value or in any
other non-Olson way that the host supports.)
