Michael Kerrisk 3db3ecf0ff drand48.3: Remove crufty text about SVID 3 marking drand48() obsolete
See http://bugs.debian.org/758293

drand48() is in current POSIX. It's unclear why SVID 3 would
have marked it obsolete, but that's crufty information that
only serves to pointlessly worry people.

Michael Kerrisk f35f30b86c clock.3: The switch to the use of clock_gettime() was to improve *accuracy*
Quoting Vincent Lefevre:

    In glibc 2.17 and earlier, clock() was implemented on top of
    times(2).  For improved precision, since glibc 2.18, it is
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    implemented on top of clock_gettime(2) (using the
    CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID clock).

This looks strange. The user doesn't seek improved precision, but
improved accuracy: if one gets more digits but the value itself is
less accurate (i.e. the error against the ideal value is larger),
this is bad. Perhaps changing "precision" to "accuracy" would be
correct (I assume that the real goal of the change was not just
improved precision, but more importantly the resulting improved
accuracy). I've reported a bug about the glibc documentation:
