Not my choice.
This system is Buildroot-based.
General idea (AFAIK) is /var/run does not need to be persisted across boots, so /run is a tmpfs and /var/run is a symlink to /run.
Obviously /run is crated empty, so /var/run/chrony (a.k.a.: /run/chrony) does not exist at startup.

I tried creating it (mkdir -p /var/run/chrony) before starting "chronyd -r -s" but now error is:
  / # chronyc online
