Well, this took quite a lot of digging, sorry for the delay (I'm
definitely not a timers/vDSO expert, I was just trying to understand
the reason for a strange Musl workaround [1]), but you're completely
right. Only 5.5+ is affected, since it was at that time the
clock_gettime64 entry point was introduced for ARM [2].
Sorry for the noise!

Thanks,
Rui
