Right assumption. This test is performed by configure
to verify is gettimeofday have one or 2 arguments.
As in the snapshot the program fail to compile,
configure wrongly assume that gettimeofday have only
one argument.
On 1.5.24 the program compile fine an gettimeofday 
is reported as function with two arguments.
