[Bug libc/1474] New: Etc/GMT Timezones misplaced


All GMT the timezones on /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc are switched.  Where you get,
for example, GMT+3 you should get GMT-3 and the same goes for all of them.  I
just found this out because of DST starting here, in Brazil, tomorrow and I´ve
some machines that can't go into DST but need the right timezone, in my case GMT-3.

here are some exerpts that I've got using: 
zdump /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT{-,+}{1,2,3,4,5}; date; ls -l /etc/localtime

/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-1  Fri Oct 14 15:20:35 2005 GMT-1
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-2  Fri Oct 14 16:20:35 2005 GMT-2
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-3  Fri Oct 14 17:20:35 2005 GMT-3
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-4  Fri Oct 14 18:20:35 2005 GMT-4
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-5  Fri Oct 14 19:20:35 2005 GMT-5
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+1  Fri Oct 14 13:20:35 2005 GMT+1
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+2  Fri Oct 14 12:20:35 2005 GMT+2
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+3  Fri Oct 14 11:20:35 2005 GMT+3
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+4  Fri Oct 14 10:20:35 2005 GMT+4
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+5  Fri Oct 14 09:20:35 2005 GMT+5
Fri Oct 14 11:20:36 BRT 2005
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo
