Malte Helmert added the comment:

I'd prefer a noisy compile error, since in situations where times is
available but unusable, HAVE_TIMES shouldn't have been #defined in the
first place. (That is, I'd see that as a bug in the configure script.)

But this is turning into a bikeshed discussion. I care more about the
bug being fixed than about how precisely it is fixed. For the record,
Alexander's patch fixes the bug on my Linux box, too, so I'm fine with
either patch.

If Alexander's patch ends up being applied, I suggest ripping the new
unit test from os_times4.PATCH, since the timing in test_posix4.PATCH is
fragile as mentioned above.

Either way, this looks ready to be closed to me.
