David Holmes has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge 
or a rebase. The pull request now contains ten commits:

 - Merge
 - Merge branch 'master' into 8246112-mono
 - Restrict librt linking to JVM - per Magnus's request
 - Merge branch 'master' into 8246112-mono
 - Alway link librt on Linux so we don't rely on glibc > 2.12
 - Step 4: Move shared time functions to os_posix.cpp
 - Step 3: Replace gettimeofday by clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME)
 - Step 2: make supports_monotonic_clock always true and so remove checking it 
(in OS code)
 - 8246112: Remove build-time and run-time checks for clock_gettime and 
CLOCK_MONOTONIC
   
   Step 1: Remove build time checks. SUPPORTS_CLOCK_MONOTONIC is assumed true 
and removed.
