Yep, but I'm a little confused what else to use.

We should only be using the *_high variables on 32-bit systems with a
64-bit time_t. So we need someway to check if that is the case.

I could change the macros to only work for _WORDSIZE == 32 and then
have a dynamic check on sizeof(time_t) == 8. Would that work?

This isn't really the same as the usual wrappers though as there is no
semctl64 syscall here.

Yep, I have remove this.

Good catch, fixed.
