I'd have thought that it would be more consistent and a saner interface to
use pass-by-value:

static inline struct timespec timespec_sub(struct timespec lhs,
struct timespec rhs)

It should generate the same code.

I mentioned this last time - did you choose to not do this for some reason,
or did it just slip past?
