What problem are you trying to solve here - the general problem of "I want
my hardware to work after 2038" or "my RTC is stupid"?  For the former
you'll potentially be writing a new ABI to introduce a 64-bit time_t (then
updating the kernel, libc, toolchain...), for the latter can't you have
some kernel code that clamps the random times on initialisation to be <2038?
