Hello, I did some more research about this issue, so I'm adding some more information.

This happens since commit 4c4e90ccf8e4 ("linux: Implement
fstatat with __fstatat64_time64") in glibc, that's between 2.33.9000 and
2.34. Commit aa03f722f3b994aaf81e72a8904bf33196780930 that was added for
2.33 is also slightly relevant (for platforms with LFS but 32 bit
time_t).
There are a few more calls that can return an undocumented EOVERFLOW:
- clock_gettime
(since commit ec138c67cbda ("sysdeps/clock_gettime: Use clock_gettime64 if
avaliable")
that is already in glibc 2.31)
- ftime
(since commit 5d8aa97da233 ("time: Add 64-bit time_t support for ftime")
that is included in glibc 2.33)
- gettimeofday
(since commit 7455b700279e ("y2038: linux: Provide __gettimeofday64
implementation")
that is included in glibc 2.31)
- sched_rr_get_interval
(since commit b112f53e9d0f ("y2038: linux: Provide __sched_rr_get_interval64
implementation")
that is included in glibc 2.32)
- time
(since commit 75c4044b9a49 ("y2038: linux: Provide __time64 implementation")
included in glibc 2.33)
- timespec_get
(since commit f1c314d27552 ("y2038: linux: Provide __timespec_get64
implementation")
included in glibc 2.32)
I didn't find documenation about this function in manpages-dev, seems
to have appeard for isoc11.
Best regards
Uwe
