Could you build the program below and run it together with date and date -u ?

----------
#ifndef _GNU_SOURCE
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#endif

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main()
{
    time_t      s;
    struct tm   t;

    tzset();

    s = time(NULL);

    (void) localtime_r(&s, &t);

    printf("%02d:%02d %d %d\n", t.tm_hour, t.tm_min, t.tm_isdst, timezone);

    return 0;
}
----------

Also could you send the output of nginx's ./configure ?
