No problem there, if clock_gettime() is not available or usable then
gettimeofday() will be used.

The libcurl configure message It is not due to the lack of
clock_gettime(), it is most likely due to libcurl configure script
finding an installed c-ares library older than the 1.7.0 one that you
have just built, or not finding any at all.
Besides building c-ares 1.7.0, you must install it in some location in
order to use it.
Later on if you want libcurl to find your built library instead of an
older version installed in some default location then you must specify
the location of the 1.7.0 c-ares installed library specifying the
location with --enable-ares=PATH.
That should be enough.
