  | Can you give me a date the changes went in?

In rev 1.46 (Tue Feb 2 19:04:37 2010 UTC) - rev 1.45 was from Dec 31
and is definitely before the changes, those are the only "recent" updates
to localtime.c

Don't try to install the rebuilt libc anywhere it would normally be found,
instead stick it somewhere else (like in fsck_ffs's source directory) and
link it explicitly (take the .a form and add its name, after the other -l
flags in the list of libraries).

  | include a global variable or definition that prevents the crash?

Only if your /usr/include and /usr/src include files are different somehow.
If you have a different installed system than the sources you're building
from, then you'd need to take particular care - that makes building stuff
outside of the build.sh framework much trickier to do correctly.
