I don't see any obvious reference to nanosleep() within the BRL-CAD codebase, so this may be another issue together and may be within your compiler/installed libraries/kernel setup. If disabling the SSE and SSE2 instructions within configure doesn't work, can you post a full backtrace along with details of the machine, including CPU class, that you are running BRL-CAD on ? Also, can you post the output of a gcc -v in case there's something unusual there ?
