Hi, Jincheol.

I don't think dbCommon.h is included in the distribution, it is
generated at build time (by src/db/Makefile).

Comparing your dbCommon.h to mine, I see they are different.  Mine
includes the following before the "#ifndef INCdbCommonH" line:

#include "ellLib.h"
#include "epicsMutex.h"
#include "link.h"
#include "epicsTime.h"
#include "epicsTypes.h"

So my dbCommon.h includes "epicsTime.h" which defines the epicsTimeStamp
type.  Your dbCommon.h does *not* include "epicsTime.h" which is why the
compiler doesn't understand the "epicsTimeStamp	time;" line in the
dbCommon typedef which is why it's failing when it includes dbCommon.h
in dbLock.c.

Given this, I think the problem is in how your dbCommon.h is getting
generated.  Why is it missing the includes that mine has?  Are you
seeing any errors in your build when it builds dbCommon.h?

I don't have a lot of experience with how dbCommon.h gets generated.  I
could continue to help, but I suspect others on this list might have
better suggestions about what is going wrong at this point.
