which version of Babel are you using?
what is "/etc/localtime" on your system.

But on the other hand: why is there a file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ which must not be used as /etc/localtime? Anyway, sorry for the noise and thanks for digging into it!
I hit a similar error on sphinx-1.5.2: struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 44 * ERROR: dev-python/sphinx-1.5.2::gentoo failed (compile phase) The cause was a corrupt /etc/localtime (due to an error on my part) The fix was: emerge --config timezone-data
