libfaketime is actually good, it just fails the test because coreutils
uses 64bit time_t.
gnulib will enable 64bit time_t on 32bit platforms, but we don't
currently support this, mixed abi will cause many problems[1], so turning
off 64bit time_t on coreutils can fix libfaketime's tests, and nss can
also use libfaketime because they use same time_t.

And libfaketime is not provided 64-bit time_t support on 32-bit archs,
see https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/issues/418

We need to open a new branch to migrate time64 later
