There's a change going in which stubs out the clock API when not used
which should resolve the immediate issue, though really the best thing
here is just to enable use of the generic clock API if the platform
doesn't have one of its own - it's not just platforms that need clocks
so we really want to get that rolled out as widely as possible.

This sort of issue is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what it's
useful to do with the API.
