It's allowing to keep the time32 ABIs around without having to use
--disable-y2038 for configure. It also resolves that we were changing
existing time32-only functions to time64 where glibc actually added a
separate one (see also
https://lore.kernel.org/xenomai/[email protected]/T/#u
- which probably needs a rework to align with this series).
