They could start by stopping to claim that it is there. All the
documentation I have found says either that a) _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK
is defined when CLOCK_MONOTONIC is available, or b) must be defined
to the value 200112L (or so). I'd prefer the latter (since it's a
POSIX version check too), but glibc is also crapware, and the header
/usr/include/bits/posix_opt.h simply defines:

/* The monotonic clock might be available.  */ 
#define _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK  0

Note the moronic "might".

But, oh, in the world of FOSS herdware it is _forbidden_ for things to
work just like that: you're supposed to use autocrap scripts (broken
and unmaintainable themselves) to test for every possible form of brain
damage the author of some other piece of software -- and distributors --
might be suffering from.
