Consider the following trivial program:

However, when loaded into GHCi, the RTS linker fails to find `tzset`:
$ ghci tz.hs

ByteCodeLink: can't find label
During interactive linking, GHCi couldn't find the following symbol:
tzset
Strange, I tried it under HaskellPlatform-2014.2, it works, I didn't see
the
failure. And I tried it in both Windows cmd and msys2 shell.
However, when I prefix a `_` to the symbol-name in the FFI import, i.e.
foreign import ccall unsafe "time.h tzset" c_tzset :: IO ()
I guess it should read:
foreign import ccall unsafe "time.h _tzset" c_tzset :: IO ()
It works too.
Actually both _tzset and tzset exist in include/time.h, only tzset is old
style name. They will be linked as the same function __imp__tzset.
