Looking at it more in details, this is definitely bug#1042562 applied to
util-linux. It appears that starting with version 2.40., util-linux
automatically enables -D_TIME_BITS=64, so even if i386 is not an
architecture that was part of the time_t transition, the problem has
been triggered there.
It appears that util-linux 2.40.1-1 has been rebuilt against a fixed
glibc, so the problem is probably fixed. At the end it should be
limited to util-linux versions 2.40-1 to 2.40-8. I don't think it is
necessary to upgrade glibc to get the issue fixed.
