The patch changes the ABI. The size of ntptimeval cannot be changed. Just
imagine what happens if an old application is used with such a new glibc. The
assignment to ->tai in ntp_gettime would corrupt memory.
You have to create a different data structure and a new version of the
ntp_gettime function.
