Hi Philip,

with newer Linux Dists / glibc Versions (tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)
stime() has been deprecated and replaced with clock_settime().
Busybox got the following commit back in 11/2019:

https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=d3539be8f27b8cbfdfee460fe08299158f08bcd9

Compiling on the latest Ubuntu version I applied the attached diff
to get things working again.

Bye
Bernd
