doc/FAQ.txt says that zope requires glibc (libc6) to work under Linux

Zope 2.1.3 seems to works perfectly (AFAICS) on my Sparc 20 under Linux
2.0.35 with libc5.3.12 and python 1.5.2

however there were two small error messages when starting zope, related to
the time.timezone module which doesn't seem to be available (maybe it's a
problem when I've compiled python, or it's a libc5 problem, or I've
deleted some files, I don't know).

For those of you who might be interested here are the two small patches to
make it work without error messages (they are attached to this message).

before going into production state, did anyone encountered other problems
when running zope on a libc5 based system ? I mean what really are the
risks ? I don't want to update this installation for now, so if it works
I'll keep it. 

thanks in advance.
