+ * clock_gettime man said, that CLOCK_REALTIME returns the same value as gettimeofday, but has better precision

+ * So building against newer sdk, while running on old one can lead to runtime crash as in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-52430
+ * To avoid this we use gettimeofday function, which gives enough precision while existing since 4.2BSD, which seems to be a reasonably long time ago
