Good catch. So, the OP's problem should be solved by defining
__timezonefunc__, or by "#define timezone timezone". Struct tags live in a
separate namespace from functions and variables, it's only the #define below
that indiscriminately mungs the word 'timezone' in the struct tag that's
causing the problem.
