No.

We actually considered this back when we were writing the 2.0 C library,
and decided that (1) it would break too many programs (then), and (2) if
anyone was still using MS-DOS in 2038, they could fix it ;-)

We also considered an unsigned time_t, which moves the problem to 2164,
but that would have broken other programs.
