New Comment:
This fallback map is there for backwards compatible reasons *only*.
>From PHP 5.1 onwards you are supposed to make this "date.timezone"
setting in php.ini. Relying on the system timezone is *not* going to
work properly. Therefore, I am not adding a mapping for UTC+8.

Description:
------------
In ext/date/lib/fallbackmap.h you have:
{ "krat", 0, 7, "Asia/Krasnoyarsk" },
{ "krast", 1, 8, "Asia/Krasnoyarsk" },
{ "jst", 0, 9, "Asia/Tokyo" },
but lots east Asia region do not use daylight saving time.
And in the test server if I use /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-8 as
/etc/localtime, I'll get tm_isdat == 0 after a simple localtime_r call,
which then resulting PHP think the timezone is UTC. (I removed
date.timezone entry in php.ini since i want PHP using OS's timezone
setting.)
Reproduce code:
---------------
Remove date.timezone entry in php.ini and use
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-8 as /etc/localtime, then run
date_default_timezone_get()
Expected result:
----------------
Should return some timezone rest in GMT-8 region. (such as HongKong or
Asia/Vientiane)
Actual result:
--------------
Returns UTC
