Looks like I lost the context. In terms of the context:
The issue is, besides having to rewrite code, it’s not just one function. It’s time_64(), but now we need gmtime_64(), strftime_64(), stat_64(), and so on for any and all functions which use timestamps.
The thinking in Linux land is that we won’t have 32-bit applications come 2038 where this matters, because everything will be 64-bit by then.
