The configure check for gettimeofday is failing for whatever reason.
That makes the compile fall-through in estruct.h to the default case:

#if (OPT_AUTOCOLOR || OPT_ELAPSED) && !defined(VL_ELAPSED)
#ifdef HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY
#define VL_ELAPSED struct timeval
#elif SYS_WINNT
/* this is in w32vile.h */
#else
#define VL_ELAPSED time_t
#endif
#endif
