Well atleast you should need them. Currently the invocation of tzinit in 
mint.cnf is commented out. IMHO atleast tzinit & tzselect should be part of 
the bootable builds (and also the zoneinfo database files of course)

I'm currently reworking the build system for mintlib a bit, but for the 
bootable builds the simplest solution is to provide prebuilt binaries 
somewhere in the .scripts directory, like is done for coreutils and others.

This can currently be achieved by:

- cd to the tz directory
- save binaries of the m68000 build somewhere
- rm *.o
- make cflags=-m68020-60 type=020
- save binaries somewhere
- rm *.o
- make cflags=-mcpu=5475 type=v4e
- save binaries somewhere

After the upcoming changes, you can just use "type=m68020" and "type=coldfire" 
instead (cflags will be set automagically). But prebuilt archives with the 
binaries will then also be available.
