Thanks - I found the problem:

access("/usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/zoneinfo/zone.tab", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/etc/zoneinfo/zone.tab", R_OK)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/zone.tab", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Creating a symlink /usr/local/share/zoneinfo -> /usr/share/zoneinfo fixed the problem.
