The author of this program (that's me) lurks on this list,
which you might consider an advantage.  I don't test on
uClibc, but in theory it will work fine.

For leaf node use, ntpclient works great.  My only concern left
with that code is the (nonexistent) treatment of leap seconds.
That is a can of worms.

I considered busyboxing ntpclient, but there wasn't a lot of
code to share.  If you come up with advantages to building
such a combo, the busybox community and I can certainly help.
