     You can emulate utimes(2) using utime(2).  You just have to write a
simple wrapper to translate the different parameters/structures used.

     You can also emulate usleep(2) using select(2).  Just pass NULL
pointers for the file descriptor arrays, and pass a pointer to the
appropriately-filled-in struct timeval.
