yes I am well aware of 64bit time_t changes, 1.25 should release well before
3.1 cut-off, musl maintainers are aware of it
and we have been fixing buggy apps which have assumptions about
the length of time_t, we would like to ship with 1.25 for 3.1
so please report isssues if you find and we can work along with them
