The long-threatened change for FreeBSD/sparc64 has now been
committed. This changes time_t to be a 64-bit quantity, the
same as it is for the AMD64 and IA64 architectures. People
running FreeBSD/sparc64 *will* have to read the UPDATING.64BTT
file for instructions on how to safely build and install this
change.
This only effects freebsd-current, of course. Later we'll have
to decide the best upgrade method for people who make the jump
from RELENG_5_2 to the upcoming RELENG_5_3.
