Comment (by mingwandroid):

 BTW, during the process of helping out on this I submitted some patches to
 libfaketime which the developers are acting on.

 One was to correct the nanoseconds issue, however with that fixed,
 configure scripts deterministically report that the build system is not
 'sane', as they (AFAIR) write a file then another, then check that the 2nd
 has a later timestamp than the 1st, considering it not sane otherwise.

 I think there'll be other issues along the same lines to figure out
 workarounds for later.
