Warning when building ./Modules/timemodule.c on i686 with 64-bit time

Building CPython generates the following warning:

#Environment

• CPython versions tested on:
  Python 3.12.0a6+
• Operating system and architecture:

Linux lfs.ijtaba 6.1.11 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Apr 30 12:53:36 PKT 2023 i686 GNU/Linux

Not able to replicate on a 64 bit system without the following compiler options:
-D_TIME_BITS=64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

Found whilst analysing #101732

I appreciate that building 32-bit python using gcc on Linux is not currently a supported platform combination, I would still like to review the code behind this...
configure: WARNING: i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc is not supported
