Yes, support for _TIME_BITS=64 should end up as one large commit that adds 
all the header support, all the function exports and symbol versions, all 
the ABI baseline updates and all the documentation.  (It may well be split 
into several pieces to review, but should still end up as one commit to 
avoid intermediate states where some interfaces have _TIME_BITS=64 support 
and some don't, so compiling with _TIME_BITS=64 gives a broken ABI.)
