When he said "I am in the process of upgrading the kernel version on a
platform that I
work on.", it sounded as if he might be one of the developers *of* that
platform - in which case he might be in a position to get time_t
changed back to signed, if they hadn't yet shipped a release with an
unsigned time_t.
That's why I said "if you can".
