For POSIX and C compliance you should be including <time.h> rather
than <sys/time.h>. I don't know if this will fix your problem, but
it will give you stronger grounds for complaint if it doesn't.
Just as an aside: ctime() is declared in <time.h> so would be better
not declared here; you should also be including <string.h>; and it
seems a waste of effort to copy from and to ntime!
