Hello again,
I tried this approach and it was only a single place I had to change in
the toolchain. The attached patch is for glibc-2.8 and enables use of
local zic compiler. These files are automatically installed as part of the
toolchain.
In ptxdist I've removed the BROKEN tag from the time zone section.
Furthermore the files zone.tab and iso3166.tab have been added as they
are very practical when making a list for the user to choose timezone.
Perhaps also the script tzselect should be added?
Best regards,
Bo

Hi,
I am about to fix the time zone feature and would like an opinion before I go

great. There has been some efforts integrating timezone features back in the 1.x
time. We did some customer solution to solve this too. To be very honest, I
can't remember the problems we face integrating to generic ptxdist anymore. ;-)
(we did have several, though)
As for now when the toolchain is built the /usr/share/zoneinfo-files for each
country is not generated which I suppose is because we are cross-compiling and
do not want to install the files to the local machine.
Reading the manual for tzfiles I understand that the files are portable, which
mean we could just run the local "zic"-command to generate the
zoneinfo-directory tree and then copy to the "/opt" directory of the toolchain
and make timezone.make install these files on the target.
AFAIR The timezone files for themselves are actually platform independent.
(perhaps endinaess dependt though). We actually don't have any problems with
installing them to the host machine since we take for grant that the host
machine has endless storage. ;-) So I think your approach will be a possible
solution.
Cheers
