This is consistent with the behaviour of glibc, which assumes UTC when
/etc/localtime and TZ do not identify a valid time zone. The fallback
tzdb used when no valid tzdata exists always contains the UTC zone, so
this change means we have a valid tzdb and valid current zone even in
the degenerate case.

With this default we no longer need the AIX-specific kluge to try and
identify TZ values specifying a 0-offset zone. We can just use the UTC
default for those, as it has the same effect.

It's still possible for chrono::current_zone() to fail, because the user
could have provided a custom tzdata.zi file which doesn't contain the
UTC time zone, so the "UTC" default would fail to find a valid zone, and
throw an exception. That's just user error, they should not provide bad
data and expect reasonable behaviour.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* src/c++20/tzdb.cc (chrono::tzdb::current_zone()) Use "UTC" if
	current time zone cannot be determined.
	* testsuite/std/time/tzdb/1.cc: Remove conditions based on
	HAVE_TZDB macro and test all members unconditionally.

History
This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
