+Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: fix detection of clock_gettime library
+
+glibc before 2.17 requires link with librt for clock_gettime(). The
+AC_SEARCH_LIBS check in configure.ac should detect this dependency.
+Unfortunately commit cb77a25e51 (configure.ac: Remove obsolete AC_ERROR
+and make formatting consistent) inadvertently renamed to clock_gettime2,
+thus breaking librt detection.
+
+Restore the correct clock_gettime() name.
