Thanks to Trevor, Rob and Steve for your answers. Whilst it may be
trivial for those familiar with the OS, it's not trivial for me as I
wouldn't know the search terms to look for. I appreciate the time for
your responses. This was with Linux 3.6.11
What I did find very confusing was that on another Raspberry Pi, running
Linux 3.2.27, when using make install /all/ the ntp* binaries are put
into /usr/local/bin/, and this inconsistent behaviour confused me.
BTW: we have found better performance on the RPi with kernel-mode PPS
when using the OS configuration changes mentioned by Rob Windgassen in
NTP Bug 2314.
