Yes -- that is right. Back in those days, you could build the linux kernel from scratch on a laptop with 16MB of memory! I used to commute (on a weekly basis) from Boston to NYC, and you could build and boot and test a kernel between taking off from Logan airport and landing in La Guardia! I can't recall the vendor of the laptop that I used, and the internet is indicating that maybe the 16MB was an overestimate.
I think that the adjtime call went in in Linux 0.99pl15 (there were different numbering conventions back then).
Almost sure this is the linux kernel version.
According to wikipedia, this is circa '92 era https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history
