Good question, I'm sure it doesn't.
If we put this around #if defined(clock_nanosleep_time64) or #ifndef
clock_nanosleep and then keep the current code as the #else would that
be acceptable to upstream?
The main goal of this RFC series was to get feedback if this is in the
right direction, or maybe I'm just missing something much simpler.
