[PATCH] Make ppc64-linux use VDSO gettimeofday instead of time syscall


Hello

Currently, in ppc64-linux we use linux/time.c, which uses the time syscall. unix/time.c, on the other hand, will use gettimeofday(), which uses the VDSO.

This small patch makes ppc64 use unix/time.c, which is faster than the current method. It's the same approach used by sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64.

Regards,
