ntp 4.2.8 won't build on FreeBSD 10.1 or FreeBSD 8.4. The build falls
over in ntp_io.c with...
CC ntp_io.o
ntp_io.c: In function 'read_network_packet':
ntp_io.c:3464: error: 'sockaddr_u' has no member named '__u6_addr'
ntp_io.c:3464: error: 'sockaddr_u' has no member named '__u6_addr'

*** Error code 1
Stop in /build/ntp/ntp-4.2.8/ntpd.
I saw a report of the same problem in bugzilla for Mac OS X [bug 2697];
so I followed up on that report confirming the same for FreeBSD.
I noted substantial differences between the latest RC and 4.2.8. It's a
shame this happened after such rock-solid RC's :-(
