- do you also use the/a glibc binary of pgcc, or do you still use the libc5 version
  to compile programs (which will not work)

Have you correctly set your local timezone? (check your /etc/locatime, use
something like "zic -l CET" to set the system timezone)

- if you set TZ=your_timezone, does irc work correctly (that would indicate
  that you haven't set the system timezone)

Hmm. Which package did you install? Either you installed it incorrectly, or
the pgcc-package was created incorrectly (I assume the latter)

It depends on how you compiled/install pgcc. Its not normal, though.

Upgrading a system to glibc isn't to be taken lightly. There are lots
of changes and enhancements ("more things one has to configure"). Its
better to upgrade your system to glibc from a distribution, otherwise
you mix up glibc changes AND pgcc changes.
