2.6.0-test5: Undefined reference to 'monotonic_clock'

[Stephen Torri]

I am compiling 2.6.0-test5 on a Alpha box. I grepped for the phrase
'monotonic_clock' because for some reason the file that was to provide
it was missing. The machine is a Alpha EV56 EB164 type, PC164 variation
using the 2.95.4. Here is the error message:
