That works for me.  I've started preparing a patch for oe-core.

That does sound useful, perhaps sharing it as an RFC patch might be a
good place to start? We might be able to run one of the autobuilder
world targets against it, see how it looks for our core recipes?

Cheers,

I have a working sanity checker that checks for any glibc functions
affected by -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 or -D_TIME_BITS=64.
The INSANE_SKIP functionality needs some more polish but I'd be happy to
contribute it.

Some libraries use both 32 and 64 bit APIs to glibc and needs exceptions
in the checker.

I have not run any world builds with this checker, I've focused on the
recipes we actually use so far so we could get to a testable system.  My
biggest worry at the moment is rust, I know to little to know if it is
an actual problem and how to fix it.

I would like to be part of any "y2038 team" for Yocto.

That sounds interesting and something we should probably look into for
both issues...

That would cause runtime issues but not build time linking ones?

We can simply disable COMPAT_32BIT_TIME in the kernel config.

Some time ago I filed https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6803 as 
Debian has a nice sanity check where it warns if non-LFS glibc functions are 
used.  I imagine the same logic could be used to check for 32-bit time_t use.
