[Bug 882954] [NEW] gcc fails to compile legal code

[Sandy Harris]

Public bug reported:

I am working on a program (ftp://ftp.cs.sjtu.edu.cn:990/sandy/maxwell/).
It compiled fine until I upgraded to Xubuntu 11.10, but now it fails
with " undefined reference to `clock_gettime'".

I am including time.h as man clock-gettime says I should.
Compiling on a different Ubuntu system (11.04) works fine.
cpp timermod.c | grep clock_gettime seems to show it is being defined.

I am baffled. Here is a tiny program that also fails to compile, and
gives the sane error:

#include <time.h>

unsigned timetest()
{
	struct timespec t ;
	return( clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME,&t)) ;
}

** Affects: gcc-defaults (Ubuntu)
