It returns immediately no matter what option I give it. Exit code is always 0.

Does chronyc return immediately or does it take a few seconds to return?

**********************************************************************
This is a long shot, since chrony may not work in the same way as ntp, but when I had similar issues with ntpq exiting unexpectedly, turns out I didn't have these lines

ntp 123/udp

ntp 123/tcp

in /etc/services

If you re-run chronyc unders trace, do you see it trying to open that file?

I think the idea is to have a level of indirection, using that file, so that ports don't have to be hard coded in the sources.  Seems like overkill to me.
