That change broke my Debian wheezy LTS system, which isn't too
out-of-date.  I think having excessive linkage on newer systems
is preferable to breaking the out-of-the-box experience.

I don't know about other platforms, but I think the following
will help users on older GNU/Linux systems for the next few
years:

Subject: [PATCH] config.mak.uname: define NEEDS_LIBRT under Linux, for now

My Debian wheezy LTS system is still on glibc 2.13; and LTS
distros may use older glibc, still, so lets not unnecessarily
break things out-of-the-box.

We seem to assume Linux is using glibc in our Makefiles anyways,
so I don't think this will introduce new breakage for users of
alternative libc implementations.
