And we have some nearer problems, too.

#ifdef __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME

/*
 * sys_time() can be implemented in user-level using
 * sys_gettimeofday().  Is this for backwards compatibility?  If so,
 * why not move it into the appropriate arch directory (for those

 */
asmlinkage long sys_time(int __user * tloc)
{
        int i;
        struct timeval tv;

        do_gettimeofday(&tv);
        i = tv.tv_sec;

        if (tloc) {
                if (put_user(i,tloc))
                        i = -EFAULT;
        }
        return i;
}

... __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME actually is set on x86-64.
