The reading back of the timer seems relatively recent.

    syscalls/timer_settime01: Make sure the timer fires
    
    This patch improves the testcase by doing multiple things:
    
    - Make sure the timer fires and catch the signals.
    
    - Verify the values set to the itimerspec by reading them again using
      timer_gettime() syscalls.
    
    - Reduce the timer interval, 5 seconds was way too much.

That said, we are off by 34 nanoseconds. Not sure that is a strict
requirement to have the alarm be triggered by not more than the value
given. But this is so close, I would hardly designate it as a bug. Add
to it that this is using ABSTIME. There could be a hidden bug here, but
I would bet this is not a regression and it hardly matters much. And it
is not anyone of the two commits referred by the test.

Cascardo.
