Dear Community,

Please find the list of patches necessary for providing Y2038 support
on ports with __WORDSIZE == 32 && __TIMESIZE != 64 (like e.g. armv7a).

1. The stat needs to have proper helper function exported [1].

2. The exported msqid_ds needs to be adjusted [2] and internal copy of
it is necessary [3][4].

The most up to date branch with Y2038 support [5] also includes some
new tests (also Y2038 specific for glibc).

Tests, which are going to be ported to glibc test suite, can be found
here [6]. They reuse the cross-test-ssh.sh script to run on 32 bit ARM
VM. The branch [5] also includes some enhancements for the
aforementioned script.
