If the zone tables had a UTC entry perhaps many of these systems would
offer it as well; then we could stop shrugging. In the sources I've
seen, they either use the tzdb zone tables directly or they have a
conversion table that translates a larger selection to the tzdb zone
table entries.

The only answer is the prime meridian, the same page London would be on.
