Year 2038 problem

[Sebastian Huber <sebastian dot huber at embedded-brains dot de>]

Hello,

since time_t is usually defined as long in Newlib and thus 32-bit on most 
32-bit targets, we are affected by the year 2038 problem:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

Since have a system that should operate for 30 years we have to address this 
problem somehow.

What do you think about adding a configure option to define _TIME_T_ to long 
long in "libc/include/machine/types.h" if requested?

Kind regards,
    Sebastian
