On my (long) list of things to do is to make a thread-safe version of the glibc version of the tz library. Once you know you're dealing with that particular library, the job becomes tractable.
FreeBSD includes a reentry-preventing version of the timezone code. Granted, this is not an ideal state of affairs, but it does allow people to call localtime() in their threaded C programs.
