@@ -34,7 +34,9 @@ Major new features: * On powerpc64*, glibc can now be compiled without scv support using the --disable-scv configure option. -* Add support for 64-bit time_t for ABIs with defaults currently unchanged. +* Add support for 64-bit time_t on configurations like x86 where time_t + is traditionally 32-bit. Although time_t still defaults to 32-bit on + these configurations, this default may change in future versions. This is enabled with the _TIME_BITS preprocessor set to 64 and only supported when LFS (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) is also enabled. It is only enabled for Linux and the full support requires a minimum version of 5.1. |
