Ok, GCC2.0 was a red herring. Printing
strftime( localtime( 1173596400 ));
with either C or Perl gives me good answers everywhere (that I've
tried) except Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 3. The difference
between RH patches for EL2.1 and EL3.x is they were distributing LIBC
patches for EL2.1 but only Olson File for /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo [or
wherever] for EL3.x.
Seems to me *anything* using LIBC's localtime() or other POSIX LOCALE
TZ data (typically anything sensitive to $ENV{TZ}) is going to have a
problem with RHEL3 and RHEL4 which updated the zoneinfo but not the
localedata/locales/en_US on the DST patch !?
# Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 users must update glibc
# Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 must update the tzdata package.

If tzdata isn't updating glibc's locale files, there's my problem.
