Update.
* sysdeps/unix/bsd/times.c: Reorder includes and add <time.h>. (timeval_to_clock_t): Add clk_tck argument and use that instead of CLK_TCK. (__times): Use __getclktck to get the number of clock ticks per second and use its return value instead of CLK_TCK. 2001-02-10 Mark Kettenis <kettenis@gnu.org>
