This may help someone compiling Pine...
The Pine people confirmed it as a known problem and said it would be
fixed next release.

Subject: "build lnp" sys/time.h problem

Hi,

Here is what I have...
Pine 4.33
libc6: glibc-2.2.3
gcc: gcc-2.95.4
on a Debian "testing/unstable" system (a.k.a. Woody/Sid)

Here is what I saw (close enough)...
in tz_sv4.c, function rfc822_timezone, line 30:
tzname undeclared, daylight undeclared,
dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

The last line was common to all the time.h related errors that came up
when these where compiling:
imap/src/osdep/unix/{os_lnx.c,news.c,phile.c}

I also "fixed" mh.c and mx.c, just 'cause they were probably next.

The fix was s!sys/time.h!time.h!
pointed out by a note in the sys/time.h file provided by libc6.
