Yes: Get the various BSD variants that declare timespec incorrectly to
fix their declarations.
POSIX states that timespec's members are named tv_sec and tv_nsec. I
don't particularly agree with that, but that's another matter.
I know that NetBSD-current defines (and the upcoming NetBSD 1.2
release will define) them properly. I dunno about other BSD systems.
