I can fix that, by converting tv_usec to tv_nsec, but I'm not sure what other Mach targets want. Do other Mach targets use HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME? Should Mac OS X configuration be altered to pick struct timespec? Should I special case timer_unix.cpp to separate Mac OS X from other Mach targets?

The tm_time_t should be a mach_timespec_t when __MACH__ is true. However, if you can improve the timer, go to town. That precise timer code has never worked as well as hoped, to the point where a lot of people have just been #ifdefing it out.

I don’t believe there are any other Mach targets other than Mac OS X currently in use.
