To me does not seem optimized out. Which version of the compiler are you using?

Please find below the list of errors for clock_gettime (similar for the other):

passing UINTPTR_MAX to clock_gettime (VDSO): terminated by unexpected signal 7
clock-gettime-monotonic/abi: 1 failures/inconsistencies encountered

passing UINTPTR_MAX to clock_gettime (VDSO): terminated by unexpected signal 7
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse/abi: 1 failures/inconsistencies encountered

passing UINTPTR_MAX to clock_gettime (VDSO): terminated by unexpected signal 7
clock-gettime-realtime/abi: 1 failures/inconsistencies encountered

passing UINTPTR_MAX to clock_gettime (VDSO): terminated by unexpected signal 7
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse/abi: 1 failures/inconsistencies encountered

Please refer to [1] for more details on the test.
