+     backend uses a COPY reloc, then actually timezone will be copied
+     into your process image, and, since you define _timezone

-     you might expect that, since timezone is a synonym for _timezone,
-     the same number will print both times.  However, if the processor
-     backend uses a COPY reloc, then actually timezone will be copied
-     into your process image, and, since you define _timezone
-     yourself, _timezone will not.  Thus timezone and _timezone will
