098150fb90 Fix some formatting issues, bump .Dd to today's date, don't use
contractions, and make igor almost happy with this (two issues are
false positives, and I'm not sure a synopsis makes sense).

ca20f8ec29 o Replace __riscv__ with __riscv
o Replace __riscv64 with (__riscv && __riscv_xlen == 64)

This is required to support new GCC 7.1 compiler.
This is compatible with current GCC 6.1 compiler.

RISC-V is extensible ISA and the idea here is to have built-in define
per each extension, so together with __riscv we will have some subset
of these as well (depending on -march string passed to compiler):

__riscv_compressed
__riscv_atomic
__riscv_mul
__riscv_div
__riscv_muldiv
__riscv_fdiv
__riscv_fsqrt
__riscv_float_abi_soft
__riscv_float_abi_single
__riscv_float_abi_double
__riscv_cmodel_medlow
__riscv_cmodel_medany
__riscv_cmodel_pic
__riscv_xlen

fbcf7bcdf4 Solve the y2038 problem for powerpc
AKA Make time_t 64 bits on powerpc(32).

PowerPC currently (until now) was one of two architectures with a 32-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs (the other being i386).  This is an ABI breakage, so all ports,
and all local binaries, *must* be recompiled.
