mysql_tzinfo_to_sql generates "'wsrep_replicate_myisam' is a GLOBAL variable" error

Yes, it is related to that.

Looks like wsrep_replicate_myisam is no longer a session one.

Short term fix for this is to remove that fragment from tztime.cc and user has to set wsrep_replicate_myisam explicitly before.

Long term fix is to make wsrep_replicate_myisam a session var.

Workaround is to grep it out.

Reported session var issue here https://bugs.launchpad.net/codership-mysql/+bug/1280280

Removed the bit about 'set session .... myisam' from 5.6 release.

It's still there in PXC 5.5.37
