prevalence of "right" time zones without timegm()?

[Dave Daugherty]

Zihao has the following update for the group. Does anyone know any differently for HPUX, AIX or SunOS?

    I tested on the following platforms
1. Redhat linux 5.2 32bit       support right zoneinfo    have timegm
2. Ubuntu 10.04 32bit          support right zoneinfo    have timegm
3. CentOS 5.6 32bit            support right zoneinfo    have timegm
4. RHEL Server 5.2 64bit      support right zoneinfo    have timegm
5. SUSE Server 10 32bit      support right zoneinfo    have timegm
6. Fedora release 13 32bit   support right zoneinfo    have timegm
7. Debian 4.0 32bit             support right zoneinfo    have timegm
8. HPUX B.11.23 ia64          Not support right zoneinfo also don't have timegm
9. AIX5.1                          Not support right zoneinfo also don't have timegm
10. SunOS 5.10 sparc         Not support right zoneinfo also don't have timegm
11. SunOS x86_64             Not support right zoneinfo also don't have timegm
 
    Seems all linux platform support right zoneinfo(can be configured with leap seconds), and all have timegm. But all unix platform don't have timegm, and also I don't find way to set something like 'right timezone'.
 
Thanks
