We've still got time to fix it, and the next release of Debian will likely have a time-64 complete userland. I don't know the status of other "bedrock" distributions, but I expect that for all Linux (and BSD) systems that don't have to support a proprietary time-32 program, everything will be time-64 with nearly a decade to spare.
Yup. Gentoo people are working on it as well. This is only a problem on 32-bit Linux too, right?
I think it affects amd64 / x64 because they originally used a 32-bit time_t for compatibility with x86 to make multiarch easier.
I don't believe it affects arm64.
Probably some mainframe or something lol. Always a mainframe.
