I did not check if the object file changes, just checked that the
macro is not used in assembly code, which would break.
Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to
1193180UL. This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably
can only improve accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct
value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE a few years ago, after which every existing
instance was getting changed to 1193182. According to the specification,
it should be 1193181.818181...
