Now that we require glibc 2.17+, see #17538, we can remove linking librt
for backwards compatibility purposes. The clock_* functions from librt
were merged into glibc as part of the 2.17 release:
- The
clock_*suite of functions (declared in <time.h>) is now available directly in the main C library. Previously it was necessary to link with -lrt to use these functions. This change has the effect that a single-threaded program that uses a function such as `clock_gettime’ (and is not linked with -lrt) will no longer implicitly load the pthreads library at runtime and so will not suffer the overheads associated with multi-thread support in other code such as the C++ runtime library.
Note that librt is already unused by the RISC-V and AARCH64 binaries as their librts don’t export any clock_* functions. As an example, you can find a diff of the arm32 vs arm64 librt symbols here.
Below is the library usage for the v0.19.0.1 release (can delete these tables pre-merge).
