Summary:  GNUstep fails for ARM architecture

Original Submission:  GNUstep base classes core dump on ARM architecture.  This 
is caused by an assumption within NSTimeZone.m that the 'ttinfo' structure is 6 
bytes long.  Since the ARM always aligns structures to word boundaries, this 
structure is 8 bytes on ARM.

The following diff fixes this bug and allows GNUstep to work properly.

  /*
   * And this is the structure used in the time zone instances.
