Hm, did you use configure --with-system-tzdata? If so, this is not
terribly surprising; the 9.6.0 test cases rely on the behavior of the
IANA timezone data as it stood at the time, and those zones changed
since then.

Is there a reason you're trying to build 9.6.0 rather than 9.6.latest,
which includes a fix for this [1] as well as hundreds of
far-more-significant bugs?
