Thought I'd better investigate in case it was my stack changes...
(configured and built ntp natively, btw).
Turns out this crash is caused by the call to timer_create() in
ntpd/ntp_timer.c.

timer_create() is in librt.a - anyone know whether we expect this to
work or not atm?

Anyway, if you undefine HAVE_TIMER_CREATE and HAVE_TIMER_SETTIME
in config.h and rebuild it, it does better.  I now get:

11 Oct 05:21:13 ntpd[3141]: logging to file /tmp/ntpd.log
11 Oct 05:21:13 ntpd[3141]: ntpd 4.0.99g Wed Oct 11 05:17:40 MDT 2000 (5)
11 Oct 05:21:13 ntpd[3141]: precision = 10000 usec
11 Oct 05:21:13 ntpd[3141]: kern_enable is 1
11 Oct 05:21:13 ntpd[3141]: init_socket_sig: ioctl(I_SETSIG, S_INPUT) failed: Bad address

So, I undefined USE_UDP_SIGPOLL, and now ntpd runs and talks to remote
ntp servers.  Don't know whether it is doing what it should though...
