Even if limiting to "relevant" APIs, I think some of the lists might still be quite long (which is okay). For example, I do expect the 'time_t' list will remain long. Some of your items in the 'timer_t' list definitely don't belong (timer_getoverrun, timer_delete). The 'sigval' list looks about right. I think the 'timeval' list could be trimmed back a bit.
