Thank you for this. I cannot make IRC on a regular basis and email is best for
me. Please keep the posts coming.

This is causing me problems. I wonder why. I get ...

configure.ac:27: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

I will take a look at the release tarballs .... tt looks like the release
tarballs do not have generated autoconf files. Hmmm.

I think we are wedged. For us to build a package for RTEMS we need access the
RTEMS tools built by the RSB. Building these tools also builds a version of
autoconf and automake we need to configure RTEMS. With the path set to include
the RTEMS tools and so the RTEMS built autoconf and automake the PTPD INSTALL
documented step of `autoreconf -vi` fails with the error above.

I decided to test by hand using the following steps:

 wget https://github.com/ptpd/ptpd/archive/ptpd.2.3.1.tar.gz
 tar zxf ptpd.2.3.1.tar.gz
 cd ptpd-ptpd.2.3.1
 autoreconf -vi

The generate has no isssue.

I then added the RTEMS tools path back into my path. I also have the Xilinx Zynq
QEMU BSP installed under my prefix so I entered ...

LIBS="-lrtemsdefaultconfig"
CFLAGS="-I/opt/work/rtems/5/arm-rtems5/xilinx_zynq_a9_qemu/lib/include  -qrtems
-B/opt/work/rtems/5/arm-rtems5/lib/
-B/opt/work/rtems/5/arm-rtems5/xilinx_zynq_a9_qemu/lib/ --specs bsp_specs
-march=armv7-a -mthumb -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard -mtune=cortex-a9 -O0 -g
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections" ./configure --host=arm-rtems5
--disable-snmp --enable-slave-only --disable-pcap

The configure completed without error. I do not think there is any point
contacting the ptpd community just yet.

The build however failed with ..

ptpd.h:93:10: fatal error: netinet/ip.h: No such file or directory

I suggest you step back from the RSB and build ptpd by hand. I have not looked
into what is wrong and why I get this compile error.
