Can you live with 55ms resolution?  If so, try the following
file from the current CVS/2.04wip tree:

http://www.delorie.com/bin/cvsweb.cgi/djgpp/src/libc/dos/dos/delay.c?rev=1.2

Take this file, compile it and see if it works for you.  If it does, then
insert it into your library libc.a

It has recently been suggested that we use RDTSC to get higher resolution
for uclock() and delay() - but this isn't coded or tested yet.
