POSIX made the getitimer/setitimer API obsolescent a decade ago, and now's a 
good time for Emacs to rely on the current timer_gettime/timer_settime API 
instead. I've proposed patches for this in Bug#32746. If you know a platform 
that is a current porting target of Emacs and lacks timer_gettime/timer_settime 
but has getitimer/setitimer, please send email to <32746@debbugs.gnu.org> about 
it. (MS-Windows lacks both APIs; the proposed patches attempt to address that 
special case.)
