This invocation uses libc types with a system call. While this works now, upcoming changes to 'struct timeval' would require type conversions. If types are converted anyways, the clock_gettime() based fallback can be used everywhere, simplifying the code.
I must confess I'm not happy to see the simple, lightweight and efficient gettimeofday() quit, with the alternative being a bit bigger, but after enough testing, aside the code size increase I cannot spot any problem.
