Indeed:

$ zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix | grep 2009
[nothing]

Alternatively, just compile your own time zone. The binary timezone file
is portable at least among various Linux libc-s (IIRC uclibc also
supports it). IIRC some other OSes support exactly the same binary
format, but I'm not sure.
