In short, no. You could use the oldish linuxthreads, or the NPTL as you
see fit, from any glibc version. Hi-res timing is provided by the
Xenomai nucleus directly, and it is implicitely made available by the
Xenomai APIs to the bound applications.

In the particular POSIX case, calling e.g. nanosleep() over a Xenomai
thread context already gives you a microsecond-level precision for
timings. You just need to make sure to compile/link with the hardened
Xenomai POSIX library, try running:
$ xeno-config --posix-cflags|--posix-ldflags.
