* Add support for 64-bit time_t on configurations like x86 where time_t
is traditionally 32-bit. Although time_t still defaults to 32-bit on
these configurations, this default may change in future versions.
This is enabled with the _TIME_BITS preprocessor set to 64 and only
supported when LFS (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) is also enabled. It is only
enabled for Linux and the full support requires a minimum version of 5.1.

Solaris also provides a similar function.

* The pthread cancellation handler is now installed with SA_RESTART and
pthread_cancel will always send the internal SIGCANCEL on a cancellation
request. It should not be visible to application since the cancellation
request. It should not be visible to applications since the cancellation
handler should either act upon cancellation (if asynchronous cancellation
is enabled) or ignore the cancellation internal signal. However there are
buggy kernel interfaces (for instance some CIFS version) that could still
see spurious EINTR error when cancellation interrupts a blocking syscall.
