-DTIMEZONE=0 -DDST=0

/etc/localtime --> /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT0

Around two days ago (probably corresponding to the start of DST somewhere)
the system clock lost an hour, as if it were subject to DST. The BIOS time
is on GMT, but 'date' is one hour earlier and still claims to be GMT.

Aaargh! This is 0.1.2.3, wasn't this kind of behaviour already fixed?
