Description Jeff Makey 2007-02-16 19:51:46 UTC 
The version of Java included with gcc-4.1.1-51.fc5 has daylight time rules that
will be obsolete in the United States on 11 March 2007.  This can result in
displayed times that are off by 1 hour.

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23566 addresses this issue upstream,
and patching to include their changes to
libjava/classpath/java/util/TimeZone.java may be sufficient to reslove this.

Other versions of Fedora (and probably Red Hat Linux too) are likely to have
this  same problem.
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2007-02-21 08:56:05 UTC 
It is not that easy, see
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-02/msg01735.html
Comment 2 Jeff Makey 2007-03-15 01:39:07 UTC 
Thanks for the comprehensive solution.  Now that this has been implemented for
RHEL 3 (bugzilla 227887) perhaps it can be done for Fedora as well.
Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2007-07-03 07:24:01 UTC 
This is fixed in current FC6 updates (as well as F7 GA), FC5 is no longer
supported.
