Oh! I will check... an up-to-date browser is needed, on systems where I 
have enough RAM...
I see the is ArcticFox packaged..... but unfortunately it is not enough 
for many sites... not even SeaMonkey is enough for github.

Here I have no idea... I wonder if gentoo has some patches for 32bit.

SM is at 2.53.18.2 now... wonder if that helps.
However i think this is really a check of time_t size. That could be a 
32bit issue. I did not try to build on linux 32bit. There is a mismanc 
of TIME_T sizes.

I did build Firefox on Linux successfully.
