Hi Johan,

header file organization has been recently changed with many Linux
distributions. Although I have not compiled kaffe on Linux recently,
my guess is that System.c includes the header sys/time.h
In older Linux versions this used to have the side effect of bringing
in the full header time.h (note, no sys/ prefix). This is no longer
true.

Try to change the include from sys/time.h to just time.h or add an
explicit include of time.h.

Hope, this helps.
Michael
