Depends on the version.  For 4.7 and older, the routine
you want is _TOD_To_seconds() from the SuperCore.

For 4.8 and newer, it has the same name but is part
of the RTEMS Classic API since the SuperCore doesn't
know the Classic API TOD structure any more.

libbsp/shared/tod.c has an example of using it.

In 4.8 and newer, there is also a set of timespec math
routines prototyped in score/include/rtems/score/timespec.h
