You're missing a library. From the clock_gettime man page:
NOTE
Most systems require the program be linked with the librt
library to
use these functions.
So you need to build the extention with librt. Try adding a 'libraries
= ['rt']' option to the extension definition. (Unfortunately, on
Linux, builduing a shared object without specifying libraries needed
passes silently. It'd be nice if there was an option to require all
undefined non-Python symbols to be accounted for by some library, but
that would be a lot of work to implement.)
