If you do that, the test may be "correct" but becomes much weaker, you cannot

really assume anymore the POSIX behavior for such functions. You only know that

the functions are available. I have no idea, for example, whether on non

strictly POSIX systems (on strictly POSIX systems the test passes as-is) other

functions may work better, provide more accurate time, etc. Jon may know

better.
