I believe it is the ('>' != tzenv[n]) check that fails, because the
maximum parsed string limit of 10 has been reached and n=10.

Here is the result for arm-none-eabi:
parsing name: tzenv="+0123456789ABCDEF>3:33:33", res=1, n=10, tzenv[n] = 9
Assertion failed! Expected 1647906533 to equal 1647916532. winter time, timezone = "<+0123456789ABCDEF>3:33:33"

I assume you no longer need assembly output from compiler?

The tzset manual page says that UTC is used if TZ cannot be parsed:
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/tzset.3.html
