Micheal really I've no more ideas, can you try exactly this?
set your CLOCK="UTC"
in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/conf.d/clock depending from your baselayout version
# cd /etc
# rm localtime
# ln -s ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome localtime
reboot

if (your time now is CET)
        is EST5EDT is broken ?
        try to emerge again "sys-libs/glibc"
else
        not the problem is not the file
        try to emerge again "baselayout"
remember to relink the wanted EST5EDT
reboot

better ideas are well accepted

I have rebooted since I made the change.  On a prior install of gentoo
a month ago on this same hardware, that choice worked for my timezone.

Micheal,

Your file is definitly linked correctly to a file in zoneinfo; however I
don't know if that is the same zone/setting as mine
(/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern).  I'm also not sure of the difference.

Have you rebooted your machine since making the CLOCK=local change?  If
you don't want to reboot you can run

/etc/init.d/clock restart

and restart any depending services as suggested by a previous post.

/etc/localtime should be linked to a file in /usr/share/zoneinfo that
corresponds to your local time.

What is /etc/localtime linked to?
