[ntp:hackers] timespec vs timeval

[David L. Mills]

P-H,

Lack of portability? The get_systime() is used by all important 
components that read the system clock other than, it seems, to strike a 
packet arrival timestamp. It handles several kernel interfaces, but 
prefers a timespec. If it wasn't portable, ntpd itself would not be 
portable.
