Please drop this condescending attitude.

I may or may not have discovered a Y2038 issue, but I do know
for sure I’ve correctly fixed a problem on all architectures
in which a time_t does not fit into a long.

Consider this:

#ifdef TEST1
typedef long foo_t;
#else
typedef long long foo_t;
#endif
foo_t bla = 1L;
printf("%ld, %ld\n", bla, 2L);

This is _supposed_ to display “1, 2” but will display “1, 0”
on little endian platforms (big endian being worse off).

I know my way *very* well around the time_t issue because
I’ve been having them on MirBSD/i386 years before x32 even
existed, and am experienced in how to fix them.
