ENOTSUP is returned for known unsupported clocks. EINVAL is returned for
unknown clocks. The only other error is EINTR, which we should handle in
a nicer way, but the old nanosleep() implementation has never done so,
and neither did the archaic select(), and nobody has ever complained.

Uh?

Even if that were to happen on Linux, monotonic clock = system uptime
which is smaller than real (UTC computed from Epoch) time, or you have
a REALLY impressive uptime...
