This does seem to be the way that several vendors do it: it's labelled "the usual case" in the make and fileutils configure files (as opposed to Solaris 2.6 and Unixware 2.1.2) and I found several man pages on the web that matched this naming / typing scheme. Strangely, Linux doesn't seem to support sub-second timing (at least, not as of 2.5.13, which is all I have to hand right now). > newlib patches should be sent to the newlib mailing list.

While I'm writing, just a note that there is a proviso in the second (slightly more considered) version of the email about an issue of rounding up of the times for FAT that I also missed out from the first. > I'll let Corinna comment on the patch itself.
