Cancel that order, waiter.  My system admin. took a look at the c
files and realized that what they need is to insert a define 
<sys/types.h> before the times.h line.  I don't know WHY: if I knew
that, I'd never have had the problem.  In any case, typing "make"
did precisely that: quickly and without problems.  In fact, it is
portable, because--drunk with success--I uuto'd the c files from my
Amdahl-based system over to a system running on a VAX, and all I had
to do was edit out the Makefile reference to "-ltermlib" because the
compiler choked on it.  

By the way, it's the best way to spend lunch hour I've found yet
in this place.
