I'm still working (not very actively at the moment) on the kernel
patches for time_t, right now the kernel only has 64-bit off_t, ino_t,
blkcnt_t, fsblkcnt_t and fsfilcnt_t for all 32-bit architectures,
and glibc emulates the 32-bit types on top of that, while the kernel
has 'long' for time_t basically everywhere.
