You're right, it would benefit only those old applications, and only 
when they are built in an obsolescent way (i.e., with 32-bit time_t).

If it's greater complexity to support obsolescent builds I suppose 
you're right, and let's not bother.

The old applications I help maintain are all using _TIME_BITS=64 on 
these platforms, so they won't be built in an obsolescent way and won't 
care about this.
