The man page says

   "Link with -lrt (only for glibc versions before 2.17)."

and even ancient RHEL-7 had glibc 2.17, so I can't imagine any platform
we currently target in QEMU has a glibc older than 2.17, so QEMU should
not need this change, unless there's some other scenario not described
in the commit message.
