Strange. My Gentoo box has timezone-data 2007c and does in fact have
the correct data. zdump gives me the proper March 11 and November 4
dates. You are definitely showing the old dates.
What architecture is your Gentoo box? (though that really shouldn't
make a difference).
Try emerging timezone-data again?
Very Strange.
