            Bug ID: 16430
           Summary: PowerPC: ftime gettimeofday internal call returning
                    bogus data
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.19
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: azanella at linux dot vnet.ibm.com
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com

The testcase:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>

int
main ()
{
  struct timeval tv;
  struct timeb s, slast;
  int c = 0;

  ftime (&slast);
  while (c < 10)
    {
      ftime (&s);
      if (s.time < slast.time
          || (s.time == slast.time && s.millitm < slast.millitm))
        exit (1);
      if (s.time != slast.time)
        ++c;
      slast.time = s.time;
      slast.millitm = s.millitm;
    }
  exit (0);
}

Is failing for PPC32 after ef26eece6331a1f6d959818e37c438cc7ce68e53 (PowerPC:
gettimeofday optimization by using IFUNC). This is due the fact linker is not
setting the gettimeofday call from ftime through a PLT, as PPC64; and thus
calling __gettimeofday ifunc resolver directly.

A possible fix would be detect a PPC32 build and set the internal symbol
'__GI___gettimeofday' to a different implementation than the ifunc resolver.
