Hi Florian,

Thank you for the patch.

This code was took directly from the old settimeofday implementation.
Please refer to SHA1: d2e3b697da2433c08702f95c76458c51545c3df1 [1]

The reason that this check is in the __settimeofday64() is that for
32 bit systems, after enabling _TIME_BITS==64, we would use
__settimeofday64() as a redirection to settimeofday().

The __settimeofday64 is also used by 64 bit archs (as an alias to
settimeofday).

With your changes applied (below), the relevant check would be only
done for 32 bit systems, and may break legacy setups (as indicated in
[1]).
