While checking on Y2K problems I also cleaned up the tsDef code. One of
the changes was to move all the definitions that should be private to
tsSubr.c from tsDefs.h to tsSubr.c. One of the definitions was
TS_EPOCH_SEC_PAST_1970.

I can think of two solutions for you.

1) Try to determine if CDEV really needs this definition. If not remove
it.
2) Define the value in CDEV. The definition is:

#define TS_EPOCH_SEC_PAST_1970 7305*86400 /* 1/1/90 20 yr (5 leap) of
seconds */
