bug#6751: 24.0.50; lisp.h:2998: error: syntax error before ‘time_t’

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

This is the compiler's first of many outputs (scroll.c, xdisp.c,  
menu.c, ... fringe.c, terminfo.c):

        In file included from frame.c:25:
        lisp.h:2998: error: syntax error before ‘time_t’

The problem seems to be that lisp.h does not include time.h which has:

        #ifndef _TIME_T
        #define _TIME_T
        typedef __darwin_time_t         time_t;
        #endif

__darwin_time_t is defined in /usr/include/ppc/_types.h as:

        typedef long __darwin_time_t;

In frame.c much later /usr/include/sys/time.h is included via  
systime.h and the typedef above renewed.

Mac OS X 10.5.8, PPC.
