I had completely up-to-date source, and a build of the i386 ramdisks
still failed because the timezone code in util.c mallocs menu_ents,
and then fails to compile:
        for(n=0; n < nfiles; n++)
                free(tz_menu[n].opt_name);
because you can't free() "const char *optname".

Multiple other people hit this problem as well.
