What is the benefit to do so?  It means nbpwd_mkdb (built on 32bit
time_t host) generates version 0 databases, and installer will need to
be changed to run native pwd_mkdb once before changing root passwd
etc.  I wonder what is the raison d'etre of nbpwd_mkdb.

Since the compiler used here is a host compiler, probably it is
difficult to turn them on unconditionally.

Yes, need to be fixed.
