i suspect the original poster is concerned with the USA's
change of daylight savings time start/end dates.  the law
requiring the change was passed in 2005, and takes effect
this year.  many vendors are only now scrambling to implement
the change, which is pretty late, since DST starts on march
11th this year.  :-)

so:  what needs to change is not just a symlink or a reference, but the
contents of the tz database.

but, to echo vda's comment:  this isn't a busybox issue.
