It is "old" only in the sense that it was the first one on the block.
It is still being maintained, albeit slower than mingw64.

This is the wrong version.  The latest development is here, AFAIU:

  
https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/mingw-org-wsl/ci/5.1-trunk/tree/mingwrt/include/time.h

and it does include sys/types.h.

The build whose problems I described used MinGW 5.0.1, I believe its
sources are on the 5.0-active branch.

Will do, thanks.
