[Rd] Timezone warnings on package install in R-alpha

[peter dalgaard]

I'm seeing nothing of the sort with the nightly build of 3.1.0RC, also on 10.9.2. This is a plain-vanilla Xcode+ancillaries build as per Simon's instructions (I think):

pd$ more config.site 
r_arch=${r_arch:=x86_64}
CC="gcc -arch $r_arch"
CXX="g++ -arch $r_arch"
F77="gfortran -arch $r_arch"
FC="gfortran -arch $r_arch"
OBJC="gcc -arch $r_arch"
with_blas="-framework vecLib"
with_lapack=yes

so either something is up specifically with gcc-4.8, or you managed to hose your time zone data base somehow (/usr/share/zoneinfo, I suppose).
