$ ls -lah /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jun 25 11:51 /etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific
# Install glibc
Our package uses `make install` and has no modifications related to localtime
$ ls -lah /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jun 25 18:22 /etc/localtime ->
../usr/share/zoneinfo/Factory
This did not use to happen with glibc (as late as 2.6).

Check if /etc/localtime is a symlink as well
Modify timezone/Makefile to also check if /etc/localtime is a symlink before
resetting to Factory. Tested multiple installs and my /etc/localtime symlink
remained untouched after this patch was applied.

Still an issue in glibc 2.9 and the patch applies cleanly.
