The support for 64bit time_t on 32bit platforms is quite old by now actually, but it hasn't seen as much uptake as initially envisioned for whatever reasons. So in effect those platforms have announced their EOL and you should move off them. > The *BSDs and Linux (beyond kernel 5.6ish) do support 64 bit time_t > in their 32 bit variants: perhaps this is an orientation. I have no 32bit system left that can run a modern enough Linux kernel and doesn't also support 64bit, so once I update those will not be 32bit anymore.
