yes, thanks
posix 64 bit timestamps are a struct of 2 32's and not one 64 bit integer
the main point stands that 32/64 bit objects are independent of LARGEFILE_SOURCE

btw, the ast source handles <tv_sec,tv_nsec> resolution times by converting
to 64 bit Time_t nanoseconds since the epoch, giving a max representable date of
"2554-07-21+23:34:33.709551614 UTC", greatly simplifying ast time manipulation
