That depends on whether

I suspect that any 32-bit systems running at that time will have been updated
to have 64-bit time_t or otherwise have windowed the 32-bit time_t to have a
new starting epoch.
So I'm willing to punt on decoding the 64-bit value correctly to libc and just
assign our time to the system time_t.
