There's a shell script (yearistype) run during installation of time zone
specific data. Script is run through ld.so explicitly setting the
library path, thus overriding LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Problem is that that particular command is run under fakeroot, which
uses the same environment variable for preloading libfakeroot and thus
preloading fails when that library is not found printing a number of

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakeroot-sysv.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be
preloaded: ignored.

on the build log.

It would be nice if either yearistype is not run from under fakeroot
(there shouldn't be no need, but it might be easier on terms of
packaging) or the libfakeroot location would be preserved with
additional --library-path option given, etc.

This is part of the "make install" target of the upstream makefiles, but
the resulting files are anyway not used (they are provided by tzdata).
As a consequence I don't see the point of fixing that. Tagging as
wontfix.
