7 No. Gentoo copies the correct file from /usr/share/zoneinfo rather than
8 making a symlink, so that it still works if /usr is a separate filesystem
9 that has not yet been mounted - the clock is set before local filesystems
10 are mounted. It uses the contents of /etc/timezone to determine which
11 file to copy.

13 Check that /etc/timezone is correct. If not, change it and either copy
14 the correct file manaually or re-emerge sys-libs/timezone-data.
