 On AIX 7, pthread_delay_np is declared as:

 extern int
 pthread_delay_np __((struct timespec *));

 Compilation fails with:
 ===
 vacpp.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/thread/build/vacpp/release/address-model-32
 /threading-multi/pthread/thread.o
 "libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp", line 439.48: 1540-0256 (S) A
 parameter of type "timespec *" cannot be initialized with an expression of
 type "const timespec *".
 "libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp", line 439.48: 1540-1205 (I) The error
 occurred while converting to parameter 1 of "pthread_delay_np(timespec
 *)".
 ===

 It appears that there is a bug related to this, #78.

 Compiled fine with 1.52.0.
