What is the correct way of doing it?

# systemctl enable hwclock-load.service
Cannot link /lib64/systemd/system/hwclock-load.service
to /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/hwclock-load.service,
symlink exists already and points
to /lib/systemd/system/hwclock-load.service.

In OpenRC scripts the flag --utc is used. I'll try to add it manually.
