Martin, were you going to update this patch with Joseph's comments and
resubmit? Â The tz changes are checked in and the ifreq struct is taken
care of so all that remains are the changes to cdefs.h to define
__NONSTRING and then to use in utmp.h.  I don't have any comments on
that change beyond what Joseph made but I did do a build and run on
aarch64 with the latest GCC to verify that those changes work for me.
