Hi Pádraig, Bernhard,
You may have seen that Paul made the gnulib module 'year2038' [1] useful for all
platforms, especially Linux/i386.
I think it would be a good idea for coreutils and findutils to include this
module,
in order to raise awareness of the year 2038 problem for those people who build
binaries that will be in use for a long time (e.g. embedded and busybox
environments).
