No, it just causes a different error:

This is because gnulib <sys/select.h> needs struct timespec and 
<sys/time.h> which defines it is still not parsed.

Just including system <time.h> shows this include chain:
<time.h> -> <sys/time.h> (defines struct timeval needed by 
<sys/select.h>) -> <sys/types.h> -> <sys/select.h> -> returns to finish 
<sys/types.h> -> returns to finish <sys/time.h>, at this point struct 
timespec and struct timestruc_t is defined -> returns to <time.h> -> 
<sys/siginfo.h> -> returns to finish <time.h>
