The problem is probably like the one on FreeBSD, there you have to define you
use POSIX source explicitely. The true reason is that in <sys/types.h>,
st_Xtime fields are '#define'd instead of real fields => precompiler extands
and compiler complains.
Now you're right, it would be a good idea to get rid of those problems by
renaming those fields. Except that they were called like the stat struct ones
on purpose, they have the same meaning. Why not removing the 'st_', since
thoses members are no longer from a stat struct ?

I propose we continue this discussion on the libsmb mailing list. It is not
really maintained in kdesupport (that's what kdesupport means), but rather in
the PLD CVS, with a 2 way sync 'by hand' from time to time.

Cheers,
