How about the following wording:
* On 32-bit targets, wrappers for the new time64 system calls in the GNU
C Library call the older 32-bit time system calls as a fallback if the
new system call fails due to not being implemented in the currently
running kernel. This may cause issues in environments that cannot
handle new Linux system calls gracefully by returning -ENOSYS. Seccomp
sandboxes are affected by this issue.
