Use clock_settime instead.

------
|
||||
|
||||
The fd_set system is poorly designed and the FD_SETSIZE is considerably smaller
|
||||
than INT_MIN on most systems, which violates that the value of the file
|
||||
descriptor shouldn't matter as long as it is between 0 and INT_MAX. It would be
|
||||
better to use poll instead. There is also the problem that select uses struct
|
||||
timeval instead of the superior struct timespec, though pselect solves tha
|
||||
particular problem.

|
||||
Sortix currently provides this function for compatibility reasons.
