Ok, here is what I have. I changed nano sleep to use a local 64-bit
value for the target expire time in jiffies. As much as MAX-INT/2-1
will be put in the timer at any one time. It loops till the target
time is met or exceeded. The changes affect (clock)nanosleep only and
not timers (they still error out for large values).
I now use the simple u64=(long long) a * b for the mpy so I have
dropped the sc_math.h stuff (I will bring that round again :).
What do you think?
Oh, the code passes the tests I have, but I have not tried to test for
very large sleep times.
