It was not building the image and I was confused why. The patch I
gave was a patch on top of the current tree that I was using (trying)
to build the image.
Turns out that tzdata didn't get extracted properly.Unlike all other
packages, it doesn't has a subfolder inside the tarball. Hence mv
command was breaking. 
So, I added lines to the extract function to make a directory and now
it's done. Can build a proper image.

Now is the time to change pkg-list and build-scripts used for building
packages

PS: I now repent as to why in the first place I cared about tzdata. It's
needed to set timezone when using glibc. Not needed here.
