Do you mean the tzfile support is buggy or do you mean you are missing $TZ?

To be honest, I don't understand the time zone stuff well enough to
support it better.  Just reading the "documentation" on the time zone
file format took me days to collect and comprehend enough to write the
current code.

Actually, it is.  If your system does not use glibc, you can simply edit

  `gcc -print-libgcc-file-name|sed s/libgcc.a/specs`

to use the diet libc instead of glibc and set __dietlibc__ and then you
don't need to wrapper at all.
