I looked again, examined sources, and got this new information:

1. Busybox - all versions tested - were using uClibc.

2. uClibc contains this snippet in libc/misc/time/mktime.c:

/* Warning -- this function is a stub andd always does UTC
 * no matter what it is given */
void tzset (void)
{

...(side note: "andd" ?)

3. busybox date got the time right (and in the right zone) but it
reported "???" for the timezone.

Is this "built-in" or can it be "fixed"?

My uClibc appears to be 0.9.5 but I can't be sure.... that's what the
Rules.mak file said.
