I also have similar problems on IRIX.   I have to compile this file on
the command line.  I copy the compile command and add a -D_BSD_TYPES  
to the command line options.   Then I run make again and it all works. 
You might also try -D_BSD_SOURCE.  In the source for oct-time.cc it
mentions this needs to be defined on some systems.   I have access to a
solaris system and the following preprocessor directive needs to be true
for it to be defined.  

Excerpt from /usr/include/sys/time.h
******************************************************************************
#if (!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)) || \
        defined(__EXTENSIONS__) || defined(_XPG4_2)  
.
.
.
struct timeval {
        time_t  tv_sec;         /* seconds */
        long    tv_usec;        /* and microseconds */
};
*****************************************************************************

Good luck.
