I don't understand all this thrashing around with questions about ntp
and timezones and all.  Right now there's only one question that
matters:  why are you getting permission denied trying to install
osreldate.h?  I posted a speculation on one thing that might lead to
that (attempting to recreate the file at install time), and I gave the
command that would provide that information.  Until we have that
information, everything else is just guessing at the underlying causes
of problems we don't know to be happening.

The command which will show in more detail what make is doing with
osreldate.h at install time is:

  make -dm installworld SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=3Dinclude

The SUBDIR_OVERRIDE is so that it only gives that extreme level of
detail for the one directory causing a problem (the -dm output is very
verbose).  We don't need the full output from that command... near the
end of the output should be "Examining osreldate.h..." and it's the
lines from there to the end that matter.
