Without adding -lrt to the link line here (F7), I get

arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o: In function `nsecs':
/home/jdike/linux/2.6/linux-2.6.22/arch/um/os-Linux/time.c:84: undefined reference to `clock_gettime'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

A little odd for a system call...

I have it on top of 2.6.26-rc2-mm1, plus all the other patches I've
sent to Andrew.  The patch which started this discussion is the one
you really need though, since this backs it out.
