Actually, Linux (at least as configured on my system) has *both*
include/time.h and include/sys/time.h, and they are actually *different*. 
For example, include/sys/time.h does not define struct tm (which is the
cause of the problem), but include/time.h does.

I notice there's a flag in the code to the effect of, "safe to include
both time.h and sys/time.h" -- ./configure detects that it is safe on my
system, but for whatever reason only includes sys/time.h when actually
compiling the program. Perhaps this can be modified?
