#83 unzip cannot be compiled with -DTIME_T_TYPE_DOUBLE=1 to make it Y2038 compliant on 32bit

Thanks for taking the time to provide a patch for TIME_T_TYPE_DOUBLE.

Confirmed that building the unzip 6.0 source with -DTIME_T_TYPE_DOUBLE does trigger a number of compilation issues.

Although your patch does silence them, I see that the updates to the development source for unzip appear to have a fix for this issue -- it builds with any compilation errors. . With a very superficial look at the sources, I suspect your's my be the correct change. Won't know for sure until I run a few tests.

One thing I notice is that the patch needs fuzz to make it apply. What version of unzip sources did you apply this change to and where did you get it?

$ patch -p1 <../2038.diff

Out of interest, are you encountering an issue that means you need this fix right now?

I tried to make unzip Y2038 compliant by -DTIME_T_TYPE_DOUBLE on 32bit, but the code didi not compile.
Below is the fix.
With this patch, zipfile composed on x86_64 was properly unzipped on 32bit unzip.
