<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Brian and Paul,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for suggestion and dreads about our future troubles with tzdata.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our Hardware Release cycle is around 10 years and of course we will change version of (e)glibc as it will be possible, but precise till to 2038.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I tried to execute zic command with suggested options on the host machine (<span style="font-size:10.0pt">Ubuntu 18.04</span>), where I compiled tzdata/tzcode 2021a.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It showed those errors (I attached and trace output from strace). May be I need to compile zic with my embedded cross-compiler and run it direct on the embedded device, where is placed obsolete eglibc for correct result ?

<p class="MsoQuote" align="left" style="text-align:left">This may be less useful than knowing what libc code is being used on tzdata.<br>
<br>
The Yocto/OpenEmbedded project seems to be a system for managing recipes to<br>
apply thousands of patches to upstream components and tools on multiple host<br>
platforms.<br>
<br>
It appears from yocto docs and links, that depending on the yocto version, it<br>
may be based on OpenEmbedded with some earlier trimmed embedded version of glibc<br>
(perhaps 2.24 as of yocto 2.2) or musl (version?) libc, which may not have<br>
tzcode changes merged to handle current tzdata formats.<br>
<br>
Traditionally glibc/libc... use requires libc-bin which packages utilities<br>
including zic, zdump built using system libc conventions and structures.<br>

Another possibility is that Evgheni is using a stripped down library that ignores both data blocks, and uses only the TZ string at the end.
<br>
Such a library does not conform to Internet RFC 8536 but might be suitable for stripped down devices such as a router. For Asia/Gaza, the TZ string is TZ='EET-2EEST,M3.4.4/48,M10.4.4/49', where the "48" and "49" rely on the extension specified in Internet RFC
8536 section 3.3.1 and scheduled to appear in a future POSIX release. If Evgheni's library doesn't support that extension then that's the problem.<br>
<br>
Yet another possibility is that Evgheni's library simply ignores the TZ string. '-b slim' relies on the TZ string even for current timestamps, whereas '-b fat' fills out entries through 2038. However, if this were the issue I expect it would happen for timezones
other than Asia/Gaza.<br>

Yes, that'd be helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
