I am compiling 2.6.0-test5 on a Alpha box. I grepped for the phrase
'monotonic_clock' because for some reason the file that was to provide
it was missing. The machine is a Alpha EV56 EB164 type, PC164 variation
using the 2.95.4. Here is the error message:

Yea, monotonic_clock, which the hangcheck-timer module uses is not yet
defined on all arches (only i386/x86-64 at the moment)

Patch to follow soon.
