Thanks for the bug report. Here's an untested patch to
glibc/timezone/Makefile to fix that timing problem. (Your symlink fix
to zic.c is also welcome, but that's a separate problem.)
Can you please test this patch? If it works for you, we can submit it
to bug-glibc as "the consensus of the tz experts" (all 2 of us :-).

* timezone/Makefile (tzbases): Move systemv from here...
(tzlinks): to here, since the entries in systemv were all changed
from Zone to Link lines in tz-2001a.
