Can't we continue to call it _timezone internally and then "#define timezone _timezone" in a public header? It looks like this is already what we get in if we simply stop defining __timezonefunc__. Or is pulluting the namespace with a macro called "timezone" too hideous? In that case we could try declaring it "extern long timezone asm("_timezone");" in the header.
