I think you are missing the big picture. The OP wanted GPS time. NTP isn't setup to work with GPS time rather than UTC. None of the typical low cost GPS/NMEA receivers tell you GPS time rather than UTC. Some of them tell you the offset. If you really want GPS time, you have two choices. One is to get UTC via NTP and the offset via IERS, USNO, and NIST, and probably others. This has troubles when the leap-second offset changes. The other would be to listen to various GPS devices and see if you can get GPS time rather than UTC. It might work to hack various refclock drivers distributed with the NTP reference package. -- These are my opinions.
