While working around the getcwd limitation on kFreeBSD,
I noticed that all timeout-using tests were hanging.
HAVE_TIMER_SETTIME was defined, so I confirmed that
disabling that definition made it so all tests now pass:
diff --git a/src/timeout.c b/src/timeout.c
index d734e4e..c87d603 100644
--- a/src/timeout.c
+++ b/src/timeout.c

resolution provided by alarm(). */
-#if HAVE_TIMER_SETTIME
+#if 0
struct timespec ts = dtotimespec (duration);
struct itimerspec its = { {0, 0}, ts };
timer_t timerid;
Obviously the above is just FYI.
The real change should probably be in configure-time code that tests
not just for existence, but also for working timer functions.
