RTEMS-4.11 newlib is pretty closely tracking newlib-CVS (Last synced ca.
2012-10-11).
Though some upstream newlib patches have been reverted (and others
added), your previous _TIMEVAL_DEFINED patch is part of the RTEMS newlib
patches.

I don't see how your new patch would change RTEMS behaviour, because
RTEMS hasn't had defined _TIMEVAL_DEFINED before and therefore had
relied upon receiving struct timeval and struct timezone from sys/time.h
That said (withouth having tested it), your patch seems OK with me.
