I think this is incorrect. tm->__tm_gmtoff/3600 can still be negative,
and then the - sign is printed twice.
I suspect your patch is correct if we add abs() around that expression
too, but maybe it makes more sense to assemble the value to be printed
as a single integer:
tm->__tm_gmtoff/3600*100 + tm->__tm_gmtoff%3600/60
I didn't spend a lot of time working out that this is correct, but it
looks right and checks out with a few test cases.
