 From previous comments, we are no longer using those predefined values, 
just those used locally in the code, and the minimum from the POSIX spec.

Feel free to look at tzset_t.log attached to my ...testing post:

	tzset/_r POSIX tz abbr angle bracket <> support testing
	https://sourceware.org/pipermail/newlib/2022/019529.html

and add the 103 unique TZ=... values used there, extracted from the end 
of the latest tzdb tzdata /usr/share/zoneinfo/ files, as they include 
actual exceptional times and offsets to achieve the required transitions 
and challenge implementation parsers and calculations.
See the tzcode/tzdata project zic(8)/zdump(8)/tzfile(5) implementation 
limits for how wide those limits need to extend.
