The issue is that futex_waitv() only accepts struct timespec that uses
64bit members. When using -m32, glibc will give you a 32bit timespec,
thus the timeout won't wort. Someday glibc will provide 64bit timespec
to 32bit userspace, given that this is affected by y2038 bug.

In previous submissions I added a workaround for that in the
selftest[0]. Search for "Y2038 section for 32-bit applications" in that
link. I'll submit something like that for futex_waitv() timeout test.
