What we tried to ifdef is to avoid the following call;

   os_alarm_process(get_current()->mm->context.id.u.pid);

because we didn't use/update get_current()->mm->context.id (struct
mm_id) and calling kill(0, SIGALRM) makes a program puzzled thus,
eliminate it.

I think both UML/LKL link with libpthread.  See old
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh, or [01/20] patch.
