This may be okay as a stopgap measure, but any sane porting target for 
QEMU should have a monotonic clock.  In fact, Darwin has it.

http://www.wand.net.nz/~smr26/wordpress/2009/01/19/monotonic-time-in-mac-os-x/ 
hints that code such as the following should work and return nanoseconds:

#import <mach/mach_time.h>

     uint64_t t = mach_absolute_time();
     static mach_timebase_info_data_t info;
     if (info.denom == 0) {
         mach_timebase_info(&info);
     }
     return muldiv64(t, info.numer, info.denom);
