I don't really follow this, and assume it's about Linux only.  On NetBSD
(for the last bunch of years), time_t is int64_t, regardless of CPU
native word size.


Presumably you are including sys/time.h, per POSIX:

Can you point me to where POSIX defines timespec.h, and the macros?  I
was unable to find those.  I wonder if they are Linux only.

What other platforms did you test on?
