Consider these messages: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00088.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00091.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00094.html They make it clear that cygcheck is a windows program. So, since cygcheck doesn't use cygwin1.dll to translate the time zone, /usr/share/zoneinfo is irrelevant. If you are trying to gain clarification on how the Cygwin DLL does timezone translation then please don't hijack this thread for that.
