In compiling for patchlevel 8, I found that because we have
(or will have) a <utime.h>, Configure #defined I_UTIME.  
However, that file looks like this:

    #ifndef _UTIME_H_
    #define _UTIME_H_       1

    #ifndef _PROTO
    #include        <proto.h>
    #endif

    struct  utimbuf {
	    time_t  actime;
	    time_t  modtime;
    };

    extern  int     utime   _PROTO((char *path,struct utimbuf *times));

    #endif

Which meant that doio.c would blow up like this:

    gcc -c -fpcc-struct-return -O  doio.c
    doio.c: In function apply:
    doio.c:1999: structure has no member named `acusec'
    doio.c:2000: structure has no member named `modusec'

The solution was #undefining I_UTIME in config.h
