Why not just ignore the timezone argument?  That hasn't been relevant
for a long time.  The timezone information is kept in user-space.

From gettimeofday(2):

     Note: timezone is no longer used; this information is kept outside the
     kernel.

And single unix standard says:

     If tzp is not a null pointer, the behaviour is unspecified.
