Hello,

I'm building beta2 --with-system-tzdata, my /usr/share/zoneinfo/posixrules
is a symbolic link to localtime, which is Europe/London; the horology test
fails in three places:

If .../posixrules is a symlink to America/New_York (as originally in
tzdata) or does not exist at all, the test passes.  Question: what is
broken here?  Postgres, my setup, the concept behind posixrules...?
