32 year timeouts are a little silly for a web server but 32-year intervals might be rather short for applications involving, say, human lifetimes.
If anyone's really still using an obsolete compiler which doesn't have 64-bit integral types then they're already missing a whole bunch of stuff from Glibc. Still, it would not be impossible to arrange for those compilers to get the old 32-bit interface.
The kernel can add a 64-bit time type whenever it likes and does not have to be coupled to the library at all; they can happen in either order, though it's only really useful once the library has it.
