I think you should take care to use the host name for NTP queries, not
the IP address since the program will try to resolve the name with
gethostbyname(). But in this case you should really get the message 
"Could not set up host ..."

I have compiled and tried to run the ntpclient with the libc and the
uClibc as well but I have similar problems on my uCdimm as well, no
matter which lib I use. My output on a uCdimm is always something like:

# ntpclient -h ntp0.fau.de
15571 85166.LIBC:PRINTF# 

Program terminates here. Works fine on my i386 production system, 
though. Haven't looked further, but the implementation of ntpclient 
could be buggy.
