It was raised on libc-help [1] that some Linux kernel interfaces expect
the libc to define __USE_TIME_BITS64 to indicate the time_t size for the
kABI. Different than defined by the initial y2038 design document [2],
the __USE_TIME_BITS64 is only defined for ABIs that support more than
one time_t size (by defining the _TIME_BITS for each module).
The 64 bit time_t redirects are now enabled using a different internal
define (__USE_TIME64_REDIRECTS). There is no expected change in semantic
or code generation.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, and
arm-linux-gnueabi

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,

sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

The patch adds redirections for xclock_gettime, xclock_settime,
timespec_add, timespec_sub, test_timespec_before_impl,
test_timespec_equal_or_after_impl, support_timespec_ns,
support_timespec_normalize, and support_timespec_check_in_range when
_TIME_BITS=64 is defined.

The xclock_settime is a wrapper function on the clock_settime syscall
to be used in the test code.
It checks if the GLIBC_TEST_ALLOW_TIME_SETTING env variable is defined
in the environment in which test is executed. If it is not - the test
ends as unsupported. Otherwise, the clock-settime is executed and return
value is assessed.

* support/xclock_gettime.c (xclock_gettime): New file. Provide
clock_gettime wrapper for use in tests that fails the test rather
than returning failure.
* support/xtime.h: New file to declare xclock_gettime.
* support/Makefile: Add xclock_gettime.c.
* support/README: Mention xtime.h.
