Looks like only the printk is broken.

The attached test program (based on Guy's description) seems
to be working fine on 32-bit UP/b2600:
...
Time : 1157151360 sec, 106770 usec
Time : 1157151361 sec, 116765 usec
Time : 1157151362 sec, 126770 usec
Time : 1157151363 sec, 136764 usec
...

Note there is ~10ms shift on each "Time" output.
I believe this is because the task will run on the next
tick _after_ the 1 second time has expired.

hth,

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <time.h>
main()
{
	struct timeval tv;

	while(gettimeofday(&tv, NULL) == 0) {
		printf("Time : %d sec, %d usec\n", tv.tv_sec, tv.tv_usec);
		sleep(1);
	}
}
