     It's marked non-conforming in time.h (see
 http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/head/include/time.h?view=diff&r1=144528&r2=144529
 for the commit -- it was 1 year after the last activity was made to
 this PR):
 
 #if __BSD_VISIBLE
 char *timezone(int, int);       /* XXX XSI conflict */
 void tzsetwall(void);
 time_t timelocal(struct tm * const);
 time_t timegm(struct tm * const);
 #endif /* __BSD_VISIBLE */
 
     This attached patch to the timezone(3) manpage makes the XSI
 conformance `issue' more apparent (it might not be a good final
 solution, but at least it documents the problem outside of GNATs).
     As far as the option is concerned, yes it's required by BASE, and
 we may or may not want to grab some of the bits from NetBSD to
 properly rename this function for the purposes of resolving this
 conformance issue, but that's a larger effort than documenting the
 issue is (for now).
 Thanks,
 -Garrett
