Comment(by darbelo):
Small update on the state of this code:
We still don't have a proper Configure.pl-time check for hires timers.
But, right now parrot will default to gettimeofday() unless _POSIX_TIMERS
is #defined to a true value. Which is about as safe as it gets for
retrieving timing info. This however short-changes platforms with a
correct clock_gettime() that don't #define _POSIX_TIMERS.
All of his provides safer defaults but doesn't solve the actual problem
that this ticket is about. The ticket should remain open until we can add
a proper Configure.pl-time check for hires timers or decide they aren't
needed.
