--- Comment #1 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at dtucker.net> ---
I don't follow your description of what's happening.  The sandbox code
has this (and has had since about 8.6p1, see bz#3093):

#ifdef __NR_clock_gettime64
        SC_ALLOW(__NR_clock_gettime64),
#endif

That's not an accurate description.  It allows any of the syscalls in
its list for which there is a definition, regardless of whether or not
it's supported by the currently running kernel.

If you build an sshd against and older set of headers that does not
define __NR_clock_gettime64 then it will not be included, but that's
because sshd has no way of knowing about it or what the syscall number
is at compile time.  I could imagine this biting you if you installed a
new libc.so without recompiling sshd with the new headers.
