Alright, I already sent my findings that it would increase the msqid_ds
size for _TIME_BITS=64 on some legacy ABIs (arm, mips, s390) but as
we discussed on weekly call it should be fine.

I don't think we need a static assert to check for alignment here (since
glibc export struct for _TIME_BITS might not be potentially equal to
kernel expected one and we already do the heavy lifting in msgctl to
copy and adjust the fields).
