I think its time we invented a new version of stat, utimes, etc. that 
used 64-bit time_t's, even on 32-bit kernels.  Some new compilation 
flags (-DTIME64 ?)  could use #pragma's to rename the symbols for "new" 
programs, which could be then used for compiling programs in ON.

I don't have the time to invest in this project myself, but I'd be happy 
to be an ARC sponsor for such work if someone else decided they wanted 
to do this work.
