You should not include any files before ngx_config.h.
src/os/unix/ngx_linux_config.h does it for you:

#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS  64

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

I believe, <sys/time.h> includes another file (may be <sys/types.h>
which depends on _FILE_OFFSET_BITS and your module is built with
32-bit off_t on 32-bit platform while nginx is build with 64-bit off_t.
