ntp: Provide compability defines (You say MOD_NANO, I say ADJ_NANO)
MOD_NANO, ADJ_NANO, MOD_NANO, ADJ_NANO! Lets call the whole thing off! But oh! If we call the whole thing off, Then we must part. And oh! If we ever part, Then that might break my heart^H^H^H^Hclock! So, if you like MOD_NANO and I like ADJ_NANO, I'll include MOD_NANO and give up ADJ_NANO (not really!). For we know we need each other, So we better call the calling off off. Let's call the whole thing off! The tumultuous NTP and Linux relationship has hit another snag: Ends up NTPd still uses the "xntp 3.4 compatability names" and when the STA_NANO value was added (along with ADJ_NANO), NTPd expected MOD_NANO to be added and has apparently hit some build errors. Report to ntp hackers: https://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/hackers/2009-August/004455.html Related Bugs: https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1219 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505566 So in an effort to make peace, here's a patch to help get things building again. I also have updated the comment to make sure folks don't think the MOD_* values are just legacy constants. Of course, NTPd really uses the glibc-headers, so those will need to be similarly updated before things are working again (the RH bug above should probably cover that). Thanks to Michael Tatarinov and Hal Murray for finding and reporting the issue!
