 your system appears to support. You might try configuring with

 (not recommended), configure with 'TIME_T_32_BIT_OK=yes'.

 It looks like this was added to coreutils
 [http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2017-11/msg00022.html to
 raise awareness of the year 2038 problem].

 > I guess if we want to continue to allow universal builds, we should add
 `TIME_T_32_BIT_OK=yes` for the 32-bit parts, as it says.

 I think it's probably ok to do this. If we wanted to add
 `TIME_T_32_BIT_OK` only to the 32-bit parts, we would have to use the
 muniversal portgroup. Or we could try always supplying `TIME_T_32_BIT_OK`
 and see if the 64-bit parts will successfully ignore it. Or we could rip
 the `TIME_T_32_BIT_OK` code out of the configure script.
