The FHS recommends that we use /var/lib/hwclock, instead of the usual /etc, as the location of the adjtime file. To make hwclock FHS-compliant, run the following:
cp hwclock/hwclock.c{,.backup} &&
sed 's%etc/adjtime%var/lib/hwclock/adjtime%' \
hwclock/hwclock.c.backup > hwclock/hwclock.c &&
mkdir -p /var/lib/hwclock |
Prepare Util-linux to be compiled:
./configure |
Continue with compiling the package:
make HAVE_SLN=yes |
The HAVE_SLN option prevents this package, which was already was installed by Glibc, from being built again.
Finish installing the package:
make HAVE_SLN=yes install |
