In xact.c, I added:

#define _BSD_COMPAT 1

before

#include <sys/time.h>

It seems to get through that part of the compilation okay now. I'm not
sure if that will break anything else but it seems minor.

There's a new problem with async.c:

cc-1515 cc: ERROR File = async.c, Line = 172
A value of type "int" cannot be assigned to an entity of type "char
*".

notifyName = strdup(relname);
^

1 error detected in the compilation of "async.c".
gmake[3]: *** [async.o] Error 2
gmake[3]: Leaving directory

It looks like I just need to change the code to explicitly cast the
variable.
