can you add config.log to get an idea why this information is missing on your system
In the minimal build root I was using, nothing else required the presence of the timezone database. This is why I think it's just something that needs to be documented. (Even in a "normal", non-minimal, openSUSE desktop system, there are only very few direct timezone users: php8, libicu, NetworkManager-applet and maybe python38-pytz if something else needs that) [I don't think config.log helps, because configure.ac does not appear to test for it.] config.log.gz
I would need to take a closer look a "normal installation" would have tzdata (or equiv), parts of libc rely on it AFAIK.
When /usr/share/zoneinfo is absent,
ewf_test_header_values
reports:Expected by test:
2020 1 6 6 34 45
Observed by test:2020 1 6 5 34 45
The dependency on the timezone database should be documented, or maybe the test needs updating to handle UTC better(?).
