The Linux kernel provides the clock_gettime() functions since a long time already, so it's possible to use it as a generic fallback option for any architecture if no other (better) possibility has been provided instead.
I noticed the benchmark package failed to build on debian on the SH-4 architecture, so with this change SH-4 is now the first user of this fallback option.
