[PATCH v2] selftests: futex: define SYS_futex on 32-bit architectures with 64-bit time_t

From: Ben Zong-You Xie
Date: Fri Jun 27 2025 - 05:20:30 EST


glibc does not define SYS_futex for 32-bit architectures using 64-bit
time_t e.g. riscv32, therefore this test fails to compile since it does not
find SYS_futex in C library headers. Define SYS_futex as SYS_futex_time64
in this situation to ensure successful compilation and compatibility.
