I am attempting to recompile some code from an older version.

           printf("Loop %d, SPI  %ld %ld\n",
                  loop,

                  loop,
                  disk_stop.tv_sec, disk_stop.tv_usec);
...

time.h defines time_t

#ifndef _TIME_T_DECLARED
typedef __time_t        time_t;
#define _TIME_T_DECLARED
#endif

sys/time.h includes sys/types.h which includes sys/_types.h which 
includes machine/_types.h where __time_t is defined

typedef __int32_t       __time_t;               /* time()... */

Question:  Why do I see the error?
