It's tangled up with leap seconds because leap seconds take effect at
the end of the current month. On systems with an ntp_adjtime() syscall
that part is handled in the kernel but everywhere else it needs to be
dealt with in userspace. So you can either keep that code around or
switch to using POSIX broken-down time.
