I've seen exactly the same failure yesterday, perhaps that s390x build
environment just became temporarily slower than before.

The test allows up to 1.19* seconds for a 1-second nanosleep.
Allowing more time would decrease the chance to detect strace incapability
to measure time spent in syscalls.

Any ideas how to workaround the slowness of test environment without
compromising the result of this test?
