I disagree with this solution. It is functionality reducing and space waste without any good reasons. Old stuff is really needed to port many programs and it _not_ will change, you can't change whole world. In other case I forced to write ftime() function f.e. again and againg for each port. I think it is more sense to move this function to libcompat and don't write it each time. You can't rule whole world and depricate something living in it. I strongly reccomend to back out this change. -- Andrey A.
