Not to my knowledge. make seemed to work well with clock_* functions in,
unlike ntp, so it is highly probably it is just ntp using bad code when
those functions are available. Unfortunately, it is quite hard to debug,
because it only happens when it is not under the debugger, is dettached from
tty etc. For now, we use the same hack which I did now for make - pretend no
clock_* in configure.
