My system struct tm is defined thusly​:

  struct tm
  {
  int tm_sec;
  int tm_min;
  int tm_hour;
  int tm_mday;
  int tm_mon;
  int tm_year;
  int tm_wday;
  int tm_yday;
  int tm_isdst;
  #ifdef __TM_GMTOFF
  long __TM_GMTOFF;
  #endif
  #ifdef __TM_ZONE
  const char *__TM_ZONE;
  #endif
  };

When compiling with the default flags, I receive the following warning​:

cc -c -DPERL_CORE -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector-strong -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -std=c89 -O3 -g -Wall -Werror=declaration-after-statement -Wextra -Wc++-compat -Wwrite-strings time64.c
time64.c​: In function ‘S_copy_little_tm_to_big_TM’​:
time64.c​:284​:25​: warning​: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  dest->tm_zone = src->tm_zone;
  ^

Adding __CYGWIN__ to the list of platforms where we have const char* tm_zone in time64.h silences the warning, however it might be better to detect this automatically in Configure.
