RTC_OFFSET support got added to macppc in May of 2001. While that missed
1.5 (and never got pulled in), it was in 1.6. If you're sill running 1.5
and want it, look at two lines (in -current or 1.6) in
sys/arch/macppc/macppc/clock.c that refer to rtc_offset, and copy that
code to your kernel.

Take care,
