The source of my confusion with FreeBSD:
/usr/include/time.h contains: typedef __time_t time_t; and includes
<sys/_types.h>
/usr/include/sys/types.h includes <machine/_types.h>
/usr/include/machine/_types.h includes <x86/_types.h>
/usr/include/x86/_types.h contains:
typedef __int32_t __time_t;
typedef int __int32_t;
Of course I am doing something wrong. Perhaps there is a definition
that makes the difference. I write only small programs I need,
no macros, and copy the necessary includes from the man pages, no
nested includes ad nauseam.

You are right. My error. I just run:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main() {printf("%ld\n",sizeof(time_t));}
And got: 8.
That is easier than navigating on the include files.
