glibc doesn't ship anything PE, so it's not going to affect that
directly.

I assume Wine needs 32-bit libraries, and if those are 64-bit time_t
only, and Wine use time_t-based interfaces, Wine will need to be
ported and make the appropriate conversions when going from PE to the
GNU/Linux world.  Wine will probably want to do this anyway because
native Windows (outside the C/POSIX compatibility library) does not
have the Y2038 problem.  Since 64-bit time_t ports of Wine already
exist, this should not be much of an issue.
