+Subject: [PATCH] clock: Do not define own timespec
+
+timespec is provided by libc and its best left to libc
+os_gettime takes a db_timespec and passed its address to clock_gettime
+which assumes that db_timespec and timespec are same but actually
+its 12-bytes here and libc has 16-bytes
+
+This can cause problems especially with 64bit time_t
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
