    Problem Summary Tests need to account for speed of system
    Problem Text These tests do the following:

    errno = 0;
    rval = clock_gettime((clockid_t)CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &ptb)k
    .
    .
    .
    execl(execpath("exec1"), "exec1", "1", ptb_data, ptb_ndata, (char
    *)0);


    then in exec1: execl_check

    rval = clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, &ntb);

    but on most systems, the exec*() happen so fast that nearly zero cpu time
    is used. A call to clock_settime() with tv_sec incremented by a large
    amount, say 30 should be to verify the cput time clock is inherited.

    And the comparsions should be changed

    if (ntb.tv_nsec <= ptb.tv_nsec)
    to
    if (ntb.tv_nsec < ptb.tv_nsec)



    else if (ntb.tv_sec <= ptb.tv_sec)
    to
    else if (ntb.tv_sec < ptb.tv_sec)

    In addition the following error messages are outputted during tcc -e
    execution:

    <unknown>: (child.c, 166) argument count wrong; process must be executed
    by tet_
    exec() or tet_spawn()
    <unknown>: (child.c, 166) argument count wrong; process must be executed
    by tet_
    exec() or tet_spawn()
    <unknown>: (child.c, 166) argument count wrong; process must be executed
    by tet_
    exec() or tet_spawn()
    <unknown>: (child.c, 166) argument count wrong; process must be executed
    by tet_
    exec() or tet_spawn()
    <unknown>: (child.c, 166) argument count wrong; process must be executed
    by tet_
    exec() or tet_spawn()
    <unknown>: (child.c, 166) argument count wrong; process must be executed
    by tet_
    exec() or tet_spawn()


    I would guess the same problems exist for the remaining tests for
    POSIX_THREAD_CPUTIME.

    Test Description:
    If the symbol {_POSIX_CPUTIME} is defined:
    The new process image created by execl() inherits
    the CPU-time clock from the calling process image.
