On 32-bit architectures, get_seconds() returns an unsigned 32-bit time value, which also matches the type used in the nft_meta code. This will not overflow in year 2038 as a time_t would, but it still suffers from the overflow problem later on in year 2106.
Change this instance to use the time64_t type consistently and avoid the deprecated get_seconds().
The nft_meta_weekday() calculation potentially gets a little slower on 32-bit architectures, but now it has the same behavior as on 64-bit architectures and does not overflow.
Applied, thanks Arnd.
