Ah, I didn't realize that the use of /etc/localtime wasn't part of
POSIX. I don't have a TZ variable set, so that explains the output.
TZ=CEST didn't work, but TZ=CEST-2 did the trick.
This is quite a bummer, though. I use musl to create static binaries for
Linux, and every glibc-based distribution (i.e. the vast majority) uses
/etc/localtime rather than the TZ variable. :-(
Thanks for the clarification.
