Nah, my 32-bit chroot correctly reports time_t is 32 bits. I run it
with "linux32 chroot /path/to/os". Anything that checks the CPU type
(e.g. uname -m) will see i686. Even if it didn't, sizeof(time_t) in
32-bit glibc is 32 bits because that's how it's defined in whichever
header actually defines it.

The trouble was, I was running my test compiles outside of the chroot
entirely (on my regular 64-bit install). So of course my code reports
time_t is 64 bits there...
