Martin, were you going to update this patch with Joseph's comments and
resubmit?  The tz changes are checked in and the ifreq struct is taken
care of so all that remains are the changes to cdefs.h to define
__NONSTRING and then to use in utmp.h.  I don't have any comments on
that change beyond what Joseph made but I did do a build and run on
aarch64 with the latest GCC to verify that those changes work for me.
