World will build with 64 bit time_t. There was one fatal error in
/usr.sbin/md5/md5.c. I really expected there to be more problems
but it looks like most of the programs are type-agnostic. 'dd' converts
time to doubles, for example, before it does anything.
I'm doing a more complete audit now. There will certainly be a
number of programs which truncate to sizeof(long) or sizeof(void *)
or sizeof(int). 'make' does all three :-) I expect there to be others,
but nothing that we would have to fix immediately (though I will fix
them as I come across them).
So far it's been amazingly painless. I really don't think this is going
to be as big a deal as some people think (or even as big a deal as I
thought it would be, I'm already half way there!). The next step for
me is to write the syscall roll functions and test a 64 bit time_t
kernel with a 32 bit time_t userland.
