You seem to confuse busybox with linux distributions.
It isn't a distro. It is just a collection of programs.

You question is similar to "how do you usually update
apache in samba?". My reaction is "what??!".

In "my" Linux, it's wget && read_docs_carefully && make. ;)

I doubt you need to update libc.

If you have problems with incorrect time zone setup,
on "desktop" (i.e., glibc-based) distro check your
/etc/localtime (should be a symlink, something like
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Kiev).

On uclibc, check /etc/TZ and/or TZ environment variable.
Example: /etc/TZ contents for Eastern Europe is
just one line:

EET-2EEST-3

It says "Normal time is called 'EET' and is GMT + 2:00,
summer time is called 'EEST' and is GMT + 3".

More complex example specifies _when_ to do transition:

EET-2EEST-3,M3.5.0/03:00:00,M10.5.0/04:00:00
