I thought of creating a new type for x32: 

type nanosec_t is private; 
type nanosec_t is new long long;

  type timespec is record
      tv_sec  : time_t;
      tv_nsec : nanosec_t;
   end record;

Having the correct definition of tv_nsec in s-osinte-posix.adb
   type timespec is record
      tv_sec  : time_t;
      tv_nsec : long;
   end record;
   pragma Convention (C, timespec);
