This is a libc issue not a "my Linux distribution is more compatible to
itself than yours" issue. None of the Linux distribution vendors make their
own libc. Let your CMOS clock run UTC and use the correct TZ value. In
my case (Germany) it is

CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/03:00:00

and guess what? It does handle DST right.
