Bug Description
I am slowly working to prepare Ubuntu to be y2038 compatible.
In the kernel, I would like to start turning off COMPAT_32BIT_TIME syscalls.
However, glibc on focal is the one that started to wrap 64bit syscalls even on 32bit machines.
If these syscalls are turned off, it is likely that glibc in bionic will not execute correctly anymore in a chroot.
This brings the question until when we need to support builders that can build bionic and earlier releases; whilst using identical pool of builders for all releases.
Bionic is currently projected to be supported until 2028, so it matters if launchpad buildd network can stay on Jammy until then.
Or have a dedicated pool of amd64/arm64 "builders" setup to build for i386/armhf only. which will be Jammy based VMs.
Please let me know what is your target lp-buildd VM host OS version in 2028.

Hi Dimitri,
thanks for raising this issue.
I think it would make sense to sit down in Riga and discuss this in person.
Would you kindly set up a meeting with me and Colin, and I will add other team members if they are interested?
Thank you!
