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.
