Comment (by pulkomandy):
I was thinking about swithing everything but gcc2, but I don't know if
time_t is used in any syscalls or BMessages. If it is the case, we would
hit some interesting problems on hybrids, if time_t is not the same for
the two compilers.
And yes, once the change is made, our existing package set may not be able
to boot Haiku anymore because of mismatched time_t. Which would mean we
need to bootstrap or at least rebuild some packages from haikuports_cross
again to get things booting again. And only then we can rebuild the other
affected packages.
