Summary

0001222: PATCH: ntpd 4.2.0 build fails with "incomplete element type"

Description

The ntpd 4.2.0 sources which are the default for buildroot are apparently broken and will not compile (I'm not sure how they would ever compile on anyone's system, actually). They fail with the following error:

In file included from systime.c:11:
../include/ntp_stdlib.h:138: error: array type has incomplete element type

This is apparently due to a coding error in the 4.2.0 distribution which has been fixed in 4.2.0b and later.

The attached patch bumps the ntpd version to 4.2.4 (the current version) which fixes this compilation error. Note that it also removes the ntp-cross-compile.patch, which is no longer needed with newer versions of ntpd.

Notes
(0002179) foogod 02-17-07 18:34	I just realized that apparently the patch I uploaded was incomplete (it doesn't actually include the removal of ntp-cross-compile.patch). As I've since determined that this is basically a duplicate of bug 1094 anyway, however, and daisuke has updated his patch to be basically equivalent anyway, please see bug 1094 for a better current patch.
