Using the source below for a quick test on both a 32 and 64 bit SUSE
system[0], I get a size of 8 bytes on the 32 bit system, which implies 2
* 32 bit, and 16 ( 2 * 64 bit) on the 64 bit system.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <sys/time.h>

int main(void)
{
 int the_size=sizeof(struct timeval);
 printf("%u\n", the_size);
 exit(0);
}
