In case of Openembedded, which (as far as I understand) mostly offers
complete system images for download or build, I might have done that
similarly at the start - this is a different situation.

That said, nothing would keep you from trivially still switching the CHOST
in case of enabled 64bit time_t, to be able to keep the two variants apart.
