We will have to deal with them as we discover them. I don't see a
magic solution for everything.

I suppose we could add a new profile var (eg. TIME_BITS) that ebuild
maintainers could reference to control this for non-autoconf/gnulib
build systems.

Also, if some common build system like meson adds automagic support,
we could override that in meson.eclass.

What will we do about other build systems? I worry they won't have a
consistent approach for all projects.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] profiles/default/linux: set gl_cv_type_time_t_bits_macro=no

2021-12-17 Thread Mike Gilbert 
This is intended to prevent packages from automatically switching to
64-bit time_t on 32-bit ABIs. Making this switch in an uncontrolled
manner will lead to inconsistent library ABIs that fail at runtime.

At a later time, we will introduce new profiles to enable 64-bit time_t
distro-wide.
