Is this really for all C libraries that are not glibc, or is it rather
for uClibc?
In other words: have you checked the situation for the musl C library?


Additionally, maybe you could add a comment (in system/TZ, and maybe
also in the Config.in help text) explaining that you should uncomment
one of the items to select the timezone?
