You configure like this:

./configure LIBS="-lrt" <what ever options you need for your refclocks>

If you parse through the output from the configure you should see:

checking for clock_gettime... yes                                                                                                       
checking for clock_settime... yes                                                                                                       

If you don't do the LIBS="-lrt" the above will say no.

For gentoo users I just modified the ebuild and changed the econfig like to 
look like this:

econfig LIBS="-lrt" \
