I have some older Red Hat builds (circa 7.x), and I can't find any glibc patches with the newer time zone information.  On other *nix flavors they are flat files, and can be edited with vi, but with Red Hat they're binary.

Get the current zone files from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub. Use zic
to compile them, cp or link the appropriate one to /etc/localtime, and
perhaps run timeconfig or whatever is available on your system.
