Subject:time_t on sparc64

Hi all,

I just discovered that time_t is 32-bit on sparc64. One of the problems is that struct timeval is defined by Posix as

struct timeval { time_t tv_secs; suseconds_t tv_usecs; };

but _timeval.h has

struct timeval { long tv_secs; suseconds_t tv_usecs; }

This means, that our timeval is not Posix compatible. What is the reason for time_t not beeing a long on sparc64?
