Event Timeline

A little background: by default, old zic produces zoneinfo files containing both 32-bit and 64-bit data, while new zic produces only 64-bit data. Dynamic i386 binaries should work correctly since they will be using a 32-bit version of new libc, but static i386 binaries will not work.

BTW, I'm also tempted to drop the -p ${POSIXRULES} part, which (with POSIXRULES=America/New_York) effectively means “when in doubt, assume you're in New York”. The hardcoded default has the same effect, there is no value in enshrining it in the Makefile.

Don't we also need this for aarch64 and powerpc64? Both of them have 32-bit binary compat stuff.

I think that might also be fine. IIRC, years ago (like in the 90s or early 2000s) this was needed because we didn't have a default... but it's been a very very long time and I didn't go back and spelunk the repo to see if this memory is right or not.

Do their 32-bit counterparts have a 32-bit time_t?

Only i386.

That's what I thought, so only amd64 needs 32-bit timezone data.

Explain why only amd64. Remove POSIXRULES.

ah, it's 32-bit time_t not 32-bit in general... So never mind.
