+Subject: [PATCH] Fix include sys/time.h
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+POSIX says `struct timeval` is defined if <sys/time.h> is included.
+
+Instead of the mess that is currently done based on the system on which
+the stuff is being compiled, include it unconditionally.
+
+Reported upstream:
+https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs/issues/272
