Likely not.

DOn't do that.  Per the man page:

       The <sys/time.h> header, included by <time.h>, defines various
       structures related to time and timers. "

Basically you include <time.h>, then CC includes <sys/time.h>, and
<sys/time.h> defines timespec AND timeval.

I like things sorted.  Does not, usually, affect the code.  But I don't
know that dictionary.

Then why change the include test?  The man page says the old one is
sufficient.

What C code did that try to generate for the test?
