Adélie Linux is one of the worst distros I have seen in the last few years.
(The 'live' installer CD-ROM does not work. The package search website has an
incomplete list of packages. Missing dependencies between essential packages.
Lots of silly behaviour everywhere.)
Nevertheless, the 'boot-time' module should work on this platform.
Done through this patch (which makes get_boot_time() look at the time stamp
of the /var/run/utmp file):

boot-time: Make it work on Adélie Linux.
* lib/boot-time.c (get_boot_time_uncached): Invoke Linux fallbacks also
on Linux systems that have neither <utmp.h> nor <utmpx.h>.
