Are you suggesting that we create a time64.h that duplicates the whole set of
ANSI/POSIX time functions? Why is that better? I have gotten a message that
told me this already works on systems with 64-bit processors. Is it so hard to
do

You could probably start by proposing system functions for
extended time_t functions ;like for exmaple:
time64_t time64(time64_t *)
That way libc developers may actually get motivated.
