Btw., nothing has changed in the way tzname (_tzname) is declared in
newlib's time.h header for years.

As I wrote in my reply on the Cygwin list, there should be no reason
to declare tzname on POSIX conformant systems at all.  Just including
<time.h> is the way to go.

The extern declaration should be guarded by an OS-agnostic configure
test which checks whether tzname is declared in time.h or not.
