Shouldn't the manpage lib/libc/sys/ntp_gettime.2 also be updated? It claims
now:
RETURN VALUES
The ntp_gettime() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise
the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate

So it still refers to old behaviour (return either 0 or -1), which is
confusing enough.
