Looking up CLK_TCK in the QNXNTO time.h:

/* CLK_TCK removed in 1003.1-2001 */
# define CLK_TCK _sysconf(3) /* 3 == _SC_CLK_TCK */

This looks to me to be identical to the `unsafePerformIO` call in the 
`#else` clause in base.  So my patch is safe.  It's probably not ideal, 
though.  What would be the preferred way to fix this (I mean a way that 
would have any chance of getting mainlined).

If CLK_TCK is deprecated, shouldn't GHC just stop using it?
