-Clang 16 does not allow implicit function declarations by default.
-When xscreensaver is compiled normally for X11, the function gettimeofday()
-is included via the header file X11/Xos.h.
-However, if X11 is not used and HAVE_JXYZ is used instead, we end up with a missing
-declaration for that function. I think upstream forgot to include the file here, he
-has done it for string.h though, which is a similar case.
