The man page for tzfile(5) makes it clear that timezone files are written in a portable format (big-endian always). So it is feasible to run zic on the build system in a cross-compile.

Surely the simplest fix is to provide a configure option allows the use of the host systems own /zic /command? Something like --with-system-zic.

Then cross compiles from any Unix-like system with a suitable zic will work fine.
