That's not the problem, the sources are in the mintlib repo (in the tz 
subdirectory). But the actual files that are installed in /usr/share/zoneinfo 
are machine-dependent files that are generated by zic. You will have to cross-
compile zic, then take the executable and all those description files, 
transfer it to a real machine (or emulator), run it there using the commands 
from the original makefile, install them, and then transfer the generated 
files back.

Also, using any files from GenToo would be actually a downgrade, since they 
are much older.
