I'm not a MacOS wizard, but I can verify that my up to date osX
has no such function.

Checking for function timer_create                              : no

# fgrep timer_create /opt/local/include -R

My linux man page says timer_create() is POSIX 1993, so maybe a missing
feature macro?

       timer_create(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199309L

But, when I tried to build with git head, I now get this error:

Waf: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/NTP/ntpsec/build/main'
Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread
../Do-config-ntpsec: line 11: 13733 Abort trap: 6           ./waf build
