Thanks for the trick.

`date' in GNU Coreutils uses `settimeofday ()' while `hwclock' invokes
an ioctl on `/dev/rtc'.  So the problem seems to come from the kernel's
implementation of `settimeofday ()'.

Looking at `arch/sparc/kernel/time.c', I can only see
`sbus_do_settimeofday ()' at first sight.  Since sun4u machines don't
have SBus, I'd be tempted to think that support for those machines is
simply lacking.  Is it correct?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
