Ok, so I understand you are having problems debugging on kfreebsd for
reasons that are beyond you. I would say this is even more reason to
exclude kfreebsd from the build until the situation gets better.

I understand that there may be other problems with the openntpd package,
but I do not see them tagged 'grave' at this point. Therefore I do not
think that bringing them into discussion here will change anything w.r.t.
to this bug.

[ OT for this bug ]

Do you mean this patch?
http://dtucker.freeshell.org/openntpd/patches/openntpd-3.6.1p1-linux-adjtimex.patch

What is the problem with it?

Robbert
