Note; the designers of POSIX.1-2008 didn't address this issue either.. they simply state that time_t and clock_t shall be integer or real-floating types.

With operating systems like OpenBSD, 3rd party packages aren't usually in the wild.. when the change to a 64-bit time_t occurs, it won't be much of a problem.. for some things it'll be as simple as recompiling, others may only be slightly more involved.
