FYI, both Solaris 2.5.1 and HP-UX 10.20 define timespec in
<signal.h> when sigtimedwait () is available. That means

#include <signal.h>

int
foo ()
{
  struct timespec x;

  x.tv_sec = 0;
  x.tv_nsec = 0;
  ...
  return sigtimedwait (..., ..., &x);
}

will compile on Solaris 2.5.1 and HP-UX 10.20, but not on glibc 2.
I think glibc 2 is wrong.
