In RedHat Linux 6.0 (using glibc 2.1.1) occurs following
error, which prevents me compiling a new kernel:

[Hardware clock was set at 23:17 at the moment,
/etc/localtime was link to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Helsinki, no TZ or TIMEZONE
variables set]

Times are incorrect and timezone given by 'uname -v' stops
kernel compiling just when make tries to put compiler info
to kernel.
