I do not remember exactly with which piece of software I got this problem with _rdtsc

With DJGPP own _rdtsc the following 2 includes causes compile error:

#include <x86intrin.h>
#include <time.h>

One should be able to use SSE/MMX/AVX instructions with DJGPP.

ia32intrin.h defines _rdtsc() and as result one gets duplicate definition if one includes
x86intrin.h before time.h without that change (including x86intrin.h instead
of defining _rdtsc()).

There is fortunately another way without including x86intrin.h from time.h:

ia86intrin.h contains '#define _rdtsc() __rdtsc()' and it defines __rdtsc as an inline function.
One could also undefine _rdtsc before defining our own.
