I suspect the autoconf test was probably written against the linux time.h which
specifies _POSIX_C_SOURCE 199309 for all the CLOCK_* constants.

Your quote seems to indicate that is wrong (which makes sense to me
since I don't recall the CLOCK_* values around back to 1993).  But I
have not done the work to dig into the spec.

If someone verifies that to be the case, please submit a PR to xorg
to fix their autoconf check.
