It is defined under:

/usr/include/machine/types.h

#ifndef __timestruc_t_defined
#define __timestruc_t_defined
typedef struct timespec timestruc_t;
#endif /*__timestruc_t_defined*/


check that the <threads.h> is included

$ cat prova.c
#include <threads.h>
int main(){
timestruc_t abstime;
}

$ gcc -c  prova.c
$ ls -l prova.o
