FWIW, I've been (slowly) working in my spare time on a FreeBSD osf/1
emulator and its not terribly difficult to work around the size
differences in time_t and in the timeval struct.  Its a pain, but its
not difficult.  The problem is that because of the time/timeval size
differences, I have to redirect a lot of system calls that we could
otherwise just pass through.
