thanks for the comment. 

Here is what I get without a patch:

linux-next/tools/testing/selftests/vm $ make
gcc -Wall -o hugepage-mmap hugepage-mmap.c
gcc -Wall -o hugepage-shm hugepage-shm.c
gcc -Wall -o map_hugetlb map_hugetlb.c
gcc -Wall -o thuge-gen thuge-gen.c
gcc -Wall -o hugetlbfstest hugetlbfstest.c
gcc -Wall -o transhuge-stress transhuge-stress.c
/tmp/ccpWoqkG.o: In function `main':
transhuge-stress.c:(.text+0x3a3): undefined reference to
`clock_gettime'
transhuge-stress.c:(.text+0x4dc): undefined reference to
`clock_gettime'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [transhuge-stress] Error 1


$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.4-1ubuntu1~12.04) 4.6.4.
The same error I get on my other Debian system.

man page for clock_gettime says 'Link with -lrt'. So I think the error
message is correct.
