I lucked out.  The timer functions you're using are all standard under OpenBSD without loading any libraries, so I just removed the -lrt and it compiles and seems to work.  I just got the dongle in the mail today so I haven't actually seen it work yet due to other screwups, but rtl_test and everything else seem to work.  It's a NooElec R820T, serial # 13 according to the eeprom.  Came from somebody selling through Amazon.   $19.95 with a remote and a magmount antenna.  Seems to have a protection diode.  Strange (MC?) antenna connector, gotta extend that out of the basement somehow.  Seems well made.

Found 1 device(s):
  0:  ezcap USB 2.0 DVB-T/DAB/FM dongle

I've got more downloading to do before I can actually hear anything on it.
