In bug 622, JohnAta writes:

In 2005, Congress passed a law so that in 2007, the second week of March starts
DST. Previously, it was the first week of April. The uclibc time library
routines apparently have not been updated to reflect this new processing. Using
the current version of uclibc, on March 11, 2007 the reported time will be
incorrect.
