SubjectRe: struct timespec
According to POSIX.1 Section 14.1.1, "A time value structure timespec
specifies a single time value and includes at least the following
members:
member type member name description
time_t tv_sec seconds
long tv_usec nanosections

Therefore, the definition in linux/time.h is correct and the pthreads
definition is incorrect. I doubt Linus will accept this patch, since
it breaks POSIX compatibility.

Enjoy!
