From: Cynthia Huang <cynthia@andestech.com>
Linux kernel does not provide sys_futex() on some 32-bit architectures
that do not support 32-bit time representations, such as riscv32.
As a result, glibc cannot define SYS_futex, causing compilation failures
in tests that rely on this syscall. Define SYS_futex as SYS_futex_time64
in such cases to ensure successful compilation and compatibility.
