As a followup: Unfortunately the obvious fix -- adding "#include
<linux/time.h>" -- causes other problems, since linux/time.h is
incompatible with the glibc time.h such that including both of them
into the same compilation unit causes errors about redefined types.
And we, at least, have some programs that want to include
linux/errqueue.h and (glibc's) time.h.  The fix of adding "#include
<time.h>" to linux/errqueue.h seems to work for us, but I'm not sure
that won't cause problems in the other direction for other people.
