Not necessarily - the codebase is exactly the same - compiling on 5.7
throws the errors previously mentioned, .. building on a 32-bit Debian
kernel [4-byte time_t] works and runs fine as does a 64-bit kernel with
an 8-byte time_t. Or, looking at the test cases above, is the problem a
32-bit kernel with an 8-byte time_t?

Not saying he is, .. the question is why the codebase complies just fine
on both 64 & 32 bit Linux systems, but not OBSD. If there were a way to
divine that secret sauce, would it not help others?
