What I meant is that the other architectures only work by
accident if COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is enabled and statx() gets
blocked, but then they truncate the timestamps to the tim32
range, which is not acceptable behavior. Actually mips64 is
in the same situation because it also only supports 32-bit
timestamps in newstatat(), despite being a 64-bit
architecture with a 64-bit time_t in all other syscalls.
