  Turning COMPAT_32BIT_TIME off on amd64

Bug description:
  This will prevent existing i386 binaries to operate correctly, if they
  are still using 32bit time.

  24.04 LTS is likely to be used for 10 years. And if allowed to overrun
  and remain active in the field in 2038 can lead to catastrophic
  failure in the field due to these syscalls enabled and used.

  I would like to request if we can turn off COMPAT_32BIT_TIME on every
  architecture, thus this will be arch by arch bug report, and arch by
  arch decision.

  This needs to be a per-arch decision, potentially taking into
  consideration bi-arch userspace support.

  config COMPAT_32BIT_TIME
        bool "Provide system calls for 32-bit time_t"
        default !64BIT || COMPAT
        help
          This enables 32 bit time_t support in addition to 64 bit time_t 
support.
          This is relevant on all 32-bit architectures, and 64-bit architectures
          as part of compat syscall handling.
