Not everyone codes so that time_t is equivalent to int so there's nothing
wrong with time_t being a long (and fix the code that can't handle it).

Of course not.  The synopsis for time(2) on v7 Unix says

| long time(0)

| long time(tloc)
| long *tloc;

precisely because int was 16 bits, and therefore not long enough.

Mind you, time_t wasn't even a sparkle in anybody's eyes then...
