Details:

Just a note that tests related to metalink started to fail on 32-bit x86 in
default setup. That's because y2038 is enabled by default resulting in ABI
incompatibility between the two if libmetalink was not compiled with y2038.
metalink_t includes two time_t fields before crucial "files" field and
difference in time_t size results in broken access to "files".

I would say it should be up to linux distribution to enable y2038 globally
instead of per package toggles.
