Why doesn't mktspec() use clock_gettime?

Looks like that use has been disable with static if (false). What was 
the reason?

A coworker spent a few hours debugging a matter that pointed to this 
issue. He removed the "false" and replaced CLOCK_REALTIME with 
CLOCK_MONOTONIC in our druntime tree.

Any insight into the matter? How should we address it by supporting 
multiple clock types portably?


Thanks,
