Hello!

> Therefore, RTC == localtime and MiNT should live with that.

Good joke from you. Do you know how expensive it is to convert from
localtime to UTC?

And do you know that the libc (aka MiNT-Lib) must return all timestamps
in UTC?

And do you know that ALL unix applications always use UTC for
calculations?
