Thanks a lot for your patch!

I don't think we should add a BR2_UCLIBC_USE_TIME64 option. Instead,
there is already a BR2_TIME_BITS_64, which enables 64-bit time_t for
glibc. It simply needs to be extended to also allow enabling 64-bit
time_t in uClibc.

Also, can I suggest that you split your change into two commits? One
bumping uClibc to 1.0.47, and one making it possible to configure it
with 64-bit time_t?

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
