What did you do?

Absolutely same thing as in #21881 (code example). Problem is that zoneinfo is so large for packing it in binary file (800kb). But: as on windows, zone info package is not required for any Linux distro.

How did i found this issue: when you packing your go binary even with -ldflags '-d -s -w' (static build for non-libc distros), using time.LoadLocation() always require tzdata dependency. This is awful, when you trying to pack your app in docker images without package manager (busybox, custom enterprise images). That's bad behavior.

Actually, same problem is with net/http, when you try to connect using tls/ssl. but with https problem is explainable: ssl certificates updates often.

What did you expect to see?

Working example on pure linux system. Basically i expect to see way to manage this issue.

What did you see instead?

Program doesn't working 🙃
