It's not, because as a matter of fact, the latest util-linux (and your
install image) do actually contain the right /sbin/hwclock binary. It just
doesn't work out-of-the-box now because of (again) a missing device
special file: /dev/rtc (char, major 10, minor 135) is missing from both
the root disk and the install image. Creating it on /target before
rebooting the install system makes the first boot work, and in order to
make the first install work, I guess you would have to create it on the
root disk and arrange hwclock to be run...
