klibc - Sep 2004 - __kernel_timer_t missing

Peter,

typedef __kernel_timer_t timer_t will fail with Arjans glibc headers,
they do not define __kernel_timer_t in asm/posix_types.h.

All archs supported by Linux have typedef int __kernel_timer_t. Can we
just get rid of the __kernel_timer_t?

Architecturally I think that's a bad idea, but it makes sense as a
workaround.
It's definitely a bug in Arjan's headers, though.
