Your subject is misleading. Timezone handling is a user space  issue.
It has nothing to do with the kernel verison.

This has nothing to do with your problems.

BB 0.6 ? AFAICT there is no such version. Do you mean  busybox-0.60.5 ?

This is awfully old. Maybe  you  should  try  running  an  up-to-date
version  of  busybox  first?  If  this doesn;'t work, please consider
using the real GNU date  command.  You  should  understand  that  the
busybox  tools  only provide limited functionality, so fancy features
like complex timezone support may not be available.

Best regards,

Status quo. Latin for "the mess we're in."
