Now that we're no longer in summer time in the Makefile for

It is not safe to assume that the system clock is more accurate than the
hwclock unless you are syncing to a time server which is why BLFS adds
the needed symlinks *after* NTP is installed and configured.
Maybe I was not too clear. If the system clock is set to local time then
when you shut-down the hardware clock should be set to system time. The
setclock script has a stop case which never gets called because there is
no KNNsetclock in rc0.d or rc6.d. As a consequence when the system is
booted the time is about 1 hour out until the ntpdate is called. (If NTP
has been installed.)
