problem with util-linux-ng fsck and board with no clock

[David Goodenough <david.goodenough@btconnect.com>]

I have an embedded board (a PCEngines Wrap board) which has no
persistent clock.  With earlier configurations I set the clock with ntpdate
once the network was up.

But with current sid I have a problem in that fsck in util-linux-ng  2.16  
complains that the "Superblock last mount time (Sat Jan 1 00:01:08
2000, now = Sat Jan 1 00:00:49) is in the future".

Even if I do an fsck on the machine manually and then reboot, it always
fails.

I have found some mentions on forums that swapping the order in which
init starts up helps, by ensuring that the system clock is set properly, but
I can not do that until much later when I have a network.

Any ideas as to how to proceed.  Is there some way to supress this
time check?
