Perhaps the extra parameter in your modified tzload() function has
something to do with the problem?

Regarding 64-bit and 32-bit, I have a 32-bit chrooted environment on my
64-bit system, and the data produced by 64-bit zic running outside the
chrooted environment is identical to the data produced by the 32-bit zic
running inside the 32-bit chrooted environment.  (That's with the 2010l
versions of tzcode and tzdata.)
