Thanks for the links. They talk about how TZif files are assembled together into a single tzdata file. However, as I vaguely recall the Android folks modified zic to generate 32-bit only TZif files. I don't offhand know whether that is still true, or how to verify whether it's true. Perhaps it was true long ago but became false when Android started supporting 64-bit CPUs; a bit of Googling suggests this occurred with Android 5.0 Lollipop (2014).
