I am working with an embedded Linux (ARM/busybox) system. It has systemd and the timedatectl system executable, but it does not have /etc/timezone, /usr/share/zoneinfo, nor the zic timezone data compiler program. I have plenty of system diskspace on this embedded system. Is it possible to copy the /usr/share/zoneinfo contents from an amd64 Linux implementation to my embedded ARM Linux implementation "as-is" to get access to the timezone functionality that timedatectl provides? Thanks for your help.
