So it seems gettimeofday() might actually belong into the POSIX compat. 
package. This gives the problem that just to get gettimeofday() the whole 
POSIX compat package has to included, including pthreads, main() and a bunch 
of other things. This seems like a lot of overhead just for gettimeofday().

Do you have a better idea ?
