Does it make any difference, if you build Emacs with/without this patch:

-----------------
diff -Naur emacs.orig/src/strftime.c emacs/src/strftime.c
--- emacs.orig/src/strftime.c   2007-01-14 04:24:37.000000000 +0100

 # endif
 #endif
 #if HAVE_TZNAME
-#ifndef USE_CRT_DLL
+#if !defined (USE_CRT_DLL) && !defined (CYGWIN)
 extern char *tzname[];
 #endif
 #endif
-----------------

In my case (I build 'with') the difference is 2 hours:

Emacs says that are 3.22 PM, instead they are 17:22. If Emacs has to
print the Greenwich Time, then it should be 16.22 (but perhaps I haven't
understood how time works...)

Cheers,
