OK, ugly hack after reading tzset(3).
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Universal /etc
if [ ! -f /usr/share/zoneinfo/Universal ]; then
TZDIR=/etc hwclock --hctosys --utc
else
hwclock --hctosys --utc
fi
TZDIR overrides the default of /usr/share/zoneinfo. I can't recommend
this as a solution, but it's a possibility.
