There are at least two NTP implementations for UNIX boxes (one from UMD,
one from UofToronto), and the local one at least requires 2 things IRIX
doesn't have:

- sub-second time setting ability (nominally settimeofday())
- BSD signals

Considering gettimeofday() exists, I'm surprised settimeofday() doesn't.

It is probably possible to work around these and end up with an NTP that
limps along, but it isn't worth the time...
