23 dnl On many systems, time_t is already a 64-bit type.
24 dnl On those systems where time_t is still 32-bit, it requires kernel
25 dnl and libc support to make it 64-bit. For glibc on Linux/x86, this
26 dnl is work in progress; see
27 dnl <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Y2038ProofnessDesign>.
29 dnl On native Windows, the system include files define types __time32_t
30 dnl and __time64_t. By default, time_t is an alias of
31 dnl - __time32_t on 32-bit mingw,
32 dnl - __time64_t on 64-bit mingw and on MSVC (since MSVC 8).
