Hi, Peter,

SLES 11 SP2 uses linux-kernel-headers-2.6.32-1.4.13, which really defines CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
in <linux/time.h>. But the perf.h which is included in builtin-record.c uses <time.h> rather
than <linux/time.h>, and <time.h> finally includes <bits/time.h>. Both <time.h> and <bits/time.h>
belong to glibc-devel package, which is glibc-devel-2.11.3-17.31.1 for SLES11 SP2, and it does
not define CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW indeed. However, for the latest OSes (or say distributions), the
corresponding glibc-devel packages have already defined CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW.
