I looked at the autoconf macro that tests for existence of tzname[],
and saw that it explicitly does

#ifndef tzname /* For SGI.  */
extern char *tzname[];
#endif

after including <time.h>.  So it seems that they are expecting some
systems not to provide a declaration for tzname even though they have it.

I have checked in a fix that does #ifdef HAVE_TZNAME, and includes
a declaration as above.  (Without the declaration, we would fail anyway
on machines that are like this.)  So you shouldn't need the port/bsdi.h
hack anymore.
