The most recent development of this code - i.e. 2.29 glibc working with
warrior Yocto/OE can be found here:
https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038_glibc/commits/Y2038-2.29-glibc-warrior-01-08-2019
(At least on 32 bit system BSP build with Yocto/OE with glibc from above
link it is possible to set / read date beyond Y2038. However, there are
still some parts broken - like ping timestamps.)
