Y2038 problem with date-and-time about sysrepo HOT 3 CLOSED

So I have tested it and reproduced, the cause is timgm() returning -1 (without setting errno for some reason). And based on what I read about this, it seems it is a "feature" of 32b systems so I am not sure what you expect from libyang to make it work.

In case you can recompile everything (and I mean it, everything, since this is obviously a huge ABI change), and you're already on kernel 5.1+ and glibc 2.34+, then you can set -D_TIME_BITS=64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and you're good to go. Beware, though, that you might face some nasty surprises if you have, say, a time_t in some binary on-disk file. If you're using a system such as Buildroot, there's a config option for this already, BR2_TIME_BITS_64.

TL;DR: this fix IMHO belongs to the "system library", not into libyang.

Thank you for the answers!
