Unfortunately I just realized this patch is not enough. :/ This library
emits direct syscalls, so these are going to be broken with the time_t
size change, the syscalls need to be updated. I'm checking how to best
fix this, perhaps even via dual-ABI, to avoid the transition
altogether, but let's see.

I guess this might have been missed for other packages that that emit
direct syscalls and are not using the time64 variants for those
already.

Thanks,
Guillem
