voila I created a sample file to recreate this issue anyway, error is with 
inclusion of timeb.h, dont know why!!. 

below is sample cpp file, which will throw similar error!

#include <sys/timeb.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>


struct stat hello;

int main()
{
	printf("Hello Here!\n");
	return 0;
}
