Okay, as noted off-list, after I exported the xtime_seconds it now
builds and works. However, there are a *lot* of "section mismatches"
which are not reassuring.

Boots, runs, glitch1 test runs reasonably smoothly. automount has not
used significant CPU yet, but I don't know what triggers it, the bad
behavior did not happen immediately without the patch. However, it looks
very hopeful.
