+Subject: [PATCH] hwclock: Check for SYS_settimeofday before calling syscall
+
+Some newer architectures e.g. RISCV32 have 64bit time_t from get go and
+thusly do not have gettimeofday_time64/settimeofday_time64 implemented
+therefore check for SYS_settimeofday definition before making the
+syscall. Fixes build for riscv32 and it will bail out at runtime.
+
+This issue has been discussed on the musl mailing list, and
+the musl developers' opinion is that Busybox is wrong:
+
+https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2024/03/03/2
+https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2024/04/07/2
+
+The correct fix isn't clear, and in the mean time, the patch
+turns the build issue into a runtime error only on the problematic
+architecture (riscv32), which seems like a reasonable trade-off
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2021-March/088583.html]]
