Although Andreas is not clear, perhaps he is alluding to the fact that 
Gnulib's localtime_r tests assume that TZ='Europe/Paris' stands for 
Paris time. POSIX doesn't guarantee this, so the implication is that the 
tests should be skipped when Europe/Paris does not work.

I installed the attached to do that. I don't know whether this will fix 
Andreas's problem, whatever it is.
