I am. glibc-2.7 does not really help the issue.

I don't think the glibc-2.7 should be patched in the Debian package, it 
shall be properly patched upstreams. That way it does not break binary 
compatibility within the 2.7 libc dynamic library files.

In the meanwhile, a pre-patch which can be made to work properly would 
be interesting, but feeding into Debian and glibc is priority I think.

Just using a patched timex.h provided a working ntp_gettime in respect 
to the TAI offset was a step in the right direction. I look forward it 
it being verified to work throughout such that NTPD compile. Possibly is 
there some work to be done to the configure.ac of NTPD.
