13 May 2014, here is the patch set:

https://lwn.net/Articles/598408/

"This patchset change default time_t and clock_t to 64 bit in
include/uapi/asm-generic/posix_types.h. The existing 32 bit
architectures override these define to 32 bit in arch posix_types.h."

So not all arch's went to 64 bit at that time.
