I will check if there is anything which could be used. Its not that easy 
because we don't have
all the source code which is evolved. Additionally I am not sure if a 
RTC is driven by the
32KHz oscillator only. It could be done similar to how it is done now, 
if the Calypso
sleeps, the 32kHz oscillator is used, otherwise the main oscillator. The 
accuracy
requirements for GSM are rather strict, so even without the 32 kHz 
oscillator
the running system  surely can handle the timing for a RTC.

Best regards,
