Debian fixed this bug incorrectly.  CLOCKS_PER_SEC is not a correct
substitute for CLK_TCK.  Please see:

To make matters worse, the glibc documentation is buggy:

For scanlogd, the correct fix is to update to 2.2.6 - which, by the way,
was already out by the time Debian wrongly "fixed" the bug.

I find it likely that many other Debian packages have introduced similar
bugs, though (blindly replacing CLK_TCK with CLOCKS_PER_SEC).
