Thanks for your report. In fact, xcalendar-i18n just uses 
 "#include <X11/Xos.h>" for timeval definition, and that
file does have "#include <sys/time.h>".

relevant section is:

  /*
   * Get struct timeval
   */
  
  #ifdef SYSV
  ...
  #else /* not SYSV */
  
  #if defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) && defined(SVR4)
  /* need to omit _POSIX_SOURCE in order to get what we want in SVR4 */
  #undef _POSIX_SOURCE
  #include <sys/time.h>
  #define _POSIX_SOURCE
  #elif defined(WIN32)
  ...
  #elif defined(AMOEBA)
  #include <time.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>
  #elif defined(MINIX) || defined(_SEQUENT_) || defined(Lynx)
  #include <time.h>
  #else
  #ifdef __QNX__
  typedef unsigned long fd_mask;
  /* Make sure we get 256 bit select masks */
  #define FD_SETSIZE 256
  #include <sys/select.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>
  #include <time.h>
  #else
  #include <sys/time.h>
  #endif /* QNX */
  #endif /* defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) && defined(SVR4) */
  
  #endif /* SYSV */

I think this header file (Xos.h) should also be modified
to add "#include <time.h>" for Linux in order to match
the recent modification of libc6-dev.

I don't reassign this bug report to xlib6g-dev because I wish to ask
X-mentors first about this problem on debian-x list.

I'll add a trick to avoid this problem in xcalendar-i18n, and
will close this report, but if it is necessary, then I'll do
reopen this bug report and reassign it to xlib6g-dev.

Regards.
