If you make changes to the HylaFAX source try finding out
the *real* reason for this change (sometimes the OS header
files are broken and not HylaFAX :-)) and provide a patch
which does not break building on other systems.

    finally got stuck with the error included below.  It seems that
    the function 'gettimeofday' cannot be located at link time, but
    it also seems to be right there in /usr/lib/libc.a
    
    Any help or pointers will be very much appreciated.

Check the prototype for gettimeofday(3) in your system and
compare it with its usage in HylaFAX;
