This wiki page was developed by Albert Aribaud and shall give you a
grasp about the work needed for Y2038 conversion.

However, it is now outdated as we already made some progress.

The most accurate list of supported/converted syscalls can be found
here:
https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038_glibc/commit/b94a7f1126dc5bd652ba3a856753e85e48a6e845

and the most up to date development branch for Y2038 conversion:
https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038_glibc/commits/y2038_edge

(I've sent yesterday a patch series to convert futex to futex_time64).

Ok.
