Why does the variable need to be renamed?  Can't we continue to call it
_timezone internally and then "#define timezone _timezone" in a public
header?  It looks like this is already what we get in <cygwin/time.h> if
we simply stop defining __timezonefunc__.

Or is pulluting the namespace with a macro called "timezone" too
hideous?  In that case we could try declaring it "extern long timezone
asm("_timezone");" in the header.
