Is that POSIX yet?

I'm not sure what you try to gain there, but you are certainly not be
able to stuff that into registers or call stack and instead have
pointers to a structure.  Again, as long as you can reconcile the time
at startup, there is absolutely no problem with any rollover during the
operation of ntpd that results from the use of l_fp.
