Thanks for reporting the issue. I'm not seeing that problem when I build
on Fedora 36 x86-64, using this command:

   make TOPDIR=/tmp/tz CFLAGS='$(GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS)' -j5 install

in that when I run this command:

   ./zdump -i -c 2437,2440 Australia/Sydney

the output is:

   TZ="Australia/Sydney"
   -    -       +11     AEDT    1
   2437-04-05   02      +10     AEST
   2437-10-04   03      +11     AEDT    1
   2438-04-04   02      +10     AEST
   2438-10-03   03      +11     AEDT    1
   2439-04-03   02      +10     AEST
   2439-10-02   03      +11     AEDT    1

which looks OK. I get the same results if I set
CFLAGS='$(GCC_DEBUG_FLAGS) -m32 -D_TIME_BITS=64' instead.

To help debug this, it'd be nice to know the platform and a recipe for
reproducing the problem. The existence of tz_localtime_tz indicates that
you're using non-default CFLAGS of some sort, and this may be at issue here.
