64bit support on netbsd

["David Laight" <David.Laight () ACULAB COM>]

There is a report on one of the netbsd lists (might have
been a developer-only list) that tcpdump (etc) aren't
working on 64bit netbsd platforms.

IIRC it had something to do with 'struct timeval' and friends.

I'm not sure of the full details but it might be related to:
1) NetBSD recently changing from 32bit to 64bit time_t.
2) 'struct timeval' being 48bits for i386 but 64bits for amd64,  
  and someone trying to run the 32bit pcap code on a 64bit system.

However I'm not certain where non fixed size time fields get used.
