Are we interested in any systems without timer_gettime and friends?
How do I answer questions like that? Do we have a list of the systems we are
interested in?

>From devel/hacking.adoc:
You *may* use clock_gettime(2) and clock_settime(2) calls, and
the related getitimer(2)/setitimer(2), from POSIX-1.2008.
The Linux man page says getitimer is obsolete. There is code to use it if
timer_gettime isn't available.
timer_gettime is in Linux, NetBSD and FreeBSD.
