  On 32-bit systems with 64-bit time_t the timespec variable will be set
to struct __timespec64 which doesn't match the expected function pointer
for __clock_settime64.

I think you need a bit more here: on 32-bit architectures with 64-bit time_t,
we require padding in 'struct timespec' next to tv_nsec (before or after,
depending on endianess), and I don't see  a patch in your series that
changes 'timespec' accordingly.

Good point, I have updated this.
