On a related note: as far as I can see, timer_t is declared as "int"
on all platforms (both by kernel and glibc). Yet if my reading of the
kernel code is right, it's supposed to be "long" (and allegedly some
standard claims that timer_t should be the "widest" integer on a
platform). But then again, I'm not familiar with the POSIX timer
interface myself, so perhaps I'm completely off base here.
