I tried some things to convince the Toolchain project (latest gcc13 
release) to use those two defines, but without much luck. Sometimes 
parts complained that there were duplicate declarations of (time) 
functions, with some other tries it actually complained the the 
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS was missing for some part, that I really don't 
understand because I added them always in pairs.

So I believe it is just a bit too early for 100% year 2038 compliance at 
the moment. Especially when it comes to C++/libstd++ there is also not 
much info online.

But the C part seems to work with the support ptxdist offers, and C++ 
has always been some unwanted stepchild, especially now Rust is going to 
safe the world :-)
