Update for 6.0 of my old patch replacing timeconst.pl with mktimeconst.c,
removing the only user of "bc" from the build. Last posted to this list...
sometime around 2013 I think? I started from the 2015 version at
https://github.com/landley/aboriginal/blob/master/sources/patches/linux-noperl-timeconst.patch
and not much had changed. One extra iteration of the loop for nanoseconds
and different makefile plumbing.
In theory you could use this version to calculate the values at startup in
a small _init function and eliminate the header, perhaps even allowing HZ
to change at runtime. But...
$ egrep -rl 'HZ_TO_|SEC_TO_HZ_' * | wc -l
29
Bit more intrusive than I'm up for at the moment.
