Gedare addressed the path to our clock() implementation and that should
now be consistent.
I am curious how the #else targets are correct given the POSIX definition.
That depends on the requirement for backward compat.
What's worse is that toplevel time.h uses a non-POSIX default definition
for _CLOCKS_PER_SEC_. Unfortunately this, too, is required for backward
compat.
The Cygwin source uses CLOCKS_PER_SEC to compute the right values in
times(2), for instance, and applications may depend on that. I added a
change to Cygwin to allow new applications to use another CLOCKS_PER_SEC
value while retaining backward compatibility for existing applications
to my TODO list.
