Well, I got past the timer_create(2) call, but then the configure test
fails for sa_register. I must admit I haven't even looked at how
difficult it will be to emulate all the SA-related syscalls. It might
turn out very easy, but I really doubt that (like, how the upcalls will
be done?). Having the SA syscalls emulated would be good, though.
