Thanks, and I agree with most of these initial comments. One minor issue:
An important issue you don't mention is the type of microseconds /
nanoseconds fields in timeval / timespec. Those should continue to be
"long" where specified as such by POSIX.
Although I tend to agree, the x32 port doesn't conform to POSIX here, and I
suppose this quirk needs to be addressed too.
