No, this can't do. It conflicts with the other bit of requirements.
Specifically:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/exec.html
As you mention:
[TMR] Per-process timers created by the calling process
shall be deleted before replacing the current process image with the new
process image.
But also:
The new process shall inherit at least the following attributes from the
calling process image:
<snip>
o [XSI] Interval timers
And this kills the latter.
