The "struct timespec" is not guaranteed to contain time since any 
specific point in the past.  So the question is: how did you got 
the struct timespec?

E.g., when using clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME), tv_sec is expected 
to contain seconds since the Epoch, and it should work fine.  But 
when using clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) tv_sec is "since an 
unspecified point in the past" (quoting POSIX, see [1]), and it's 
not possible to convert it to time since the Epoch as required by 
r->headers_out.last_modified_time.
