That is right - Yocto / ELDK do not include a receipe for NTP, but the
OE receipe can be easy added.

The list is related to the old ELDK-4.x, see the ancient gcc versions.
All packages are obsolete nowadays. And yes, ELDK-4.x had a rpm package
for NTP.

NTP or SNTP is IMHO always the first choice. Check the receipe here:

You can add it flawlessly to your ELDK environment.
