Arnd noted additions to this list:

- setitimer
- getitimer
- wait3
- wait4

And additional functions that have indirect time_t dependency in their
interfaces that may need redirection if redirection is done:

- aio_suspend
- sched_getparam
- sched_setparam
- sched_setscheduler
- pthread_getschedparam
- pthread_setschedparam
- pthread_attr_getschedparam
- pthread_attr_setschedparam
- posix_spawnattr_getschedparam
- posix_spawnattr_setschedparam

My leaning for the schedparam stuff is actually not to do any
redirctions, but instead remove the SCHED_SPORADIC cruft (Linux has
never supported it and almost surely won't) and instead replace the
members with "unused" fields of the same size that we could later
repurpose for something else useful.
