    Then compat_time.c defines `time' normally:
 
-       time_t
-       time(time_t *t)
+       int32_t
+       time(int32_t *t)

        ...
 
    Again, macro expansion replaces `time' by `_time', but since there
    is no __RENAME directive in <compat/include/time.h>, the resulting
-   ELF global symbol is `_time'.
+   ELF global symbol is `_time'.  (Actually, compat_time.c just has

    Finally, alongside the definition in compat_time.c is
