That sounds like a libc bug. Which C library are you using?

I don't know what __TIMESIZE is, this is not part of the kernel ABI
as far as I can tell. __USE_TIME_BITS64 should be set by any 32-bit
architecture if the C library defines a 64-bit time_t, otherwise the
kernel headers have no way of picking the correct definitions based
on preprocessor logic.
