+Subject: [PATCH] libntp: Use time_t for the stime() argument
+
+ntp_set_tod() passes a long to stime(), which is declared as
+stime(const time_t *) everywhere except on systems where configure sets
+DECL_STIME_1 (stime(long *)). That only works when time_t and long have
+the same size. 32-bit targets with a 64-bit time_t, such as riscv32 or
+any 32-bit target built with _TIME_BITS=64, break:
+
+  libntp/machines.c:483:14: error: incompatible pointer types passing
+  'long *' to parameter of type 'const time_t *' (aka 'const long long *')
+
+Use time_t unless the system declares stime() with a long, so the
+argument always matches the prototype in use.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/ntp-project/ntp/pull/35]
