i think the NEWS talks a lot about public time api
changes, but not so much about the internals: i'd
expect time64 syscalls on new kernels to trigger
existing seccomp whitelists some of which are not
very forgiving (well glibc checks for ENOSYS in the
fallback and seccomp filters normally do EPERM or
kill), so it may affect users.

if you test new glibc with a new kernel on a 32bit
target then i'd look out for this.
