According to:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/sem_timedwait.html

"The timespec data type is defined as a structure in the
 <time.h> header."

It would seem to me that adding "struct timespec;" would
be OK, but I defer to one of the standards gurus to interpret this.

The <_semaphore.h> header seems to only have stuff
for the ksem_* functions.  Are you adding stuff in there
which uses struct timespec?
