clock_settime isn't actually that portable; notably, Mac OS X doesn't implement it.
Ouch, thanks, I didn't know that. Let's simplify things further and remove all the code that tries to set the date. Setting the date is not germane to the tz project; the code is there only because it was in 4.2BSD, and that is not a particularly strong reason nowadays. Proposed patch attached.
