date: Use 64 prefix syscall if we have to
Some 32-bit architectures no longer have the 32-bit time_t syscalls. Instead they have suffixed syscalls that returns a 64-bit time_t. If the architecture doesn't have the non-suffixed syscall and is using a 64-bit time_t let's use the suffixed syscall instead. This fixes build issues when building for RISC-V 32-bit with 5.1+ kernel headers. If an architecture only supports the suffixed syscalls, but is still using a 32-bit time_t fall back to the libc call.
