[PATCH v2 04/13] tools/nolibc/time: drop invocation of gettimeofday system call

From: Thomas Weißschuh

Date: Sat Nov 22 2025 - 11:59:55 EST


This invocation uses libc types with a system call. While this works
now, upcoming changes to 'struct timeval' would require type
conversions. If types are converted anyways, the clock_gettime() based
fallback can be used everywhere, simplifying the code.
