But that said, these binaries are broken anyway in 2038?
No, I expect users to run them in time-shifted VMs or containers.
That's reasonable for systems where accurate timestamps are not
important and where time_t width mismatches would just get in the way.
However, if this is the expected approach, I suggest having a standard
and well-documented way to timeshift VMs and containers, and unless you
want to cede the field entirely to other platforms this documentation
effort and testing should be done now rather than in the year 2037.
