Description of problem: This one is related to 429290. pthread_cond_timedwait is implemented using the futex syscall with the FUTEX_WAIT command. Because the FUTEX_WAIT command takes a relative time as a timeout it cannot be used for realtime purposes and as a consequence, pthread_cond_timedwait can't be either. We are asking that once 354744 is fixed, the pthread_cond_timedwait command be fixed to take advantage of the new futex command. The reason we are reporting the same issue in 2 different bugs is that, as a first step, it would ok for us to only have the new futex command and not the libc fix.
