- patch 2:

    __SIZEOF_LONG__, which skipped the assignment on x32 and other
    y2038 configurations and failed the test there (Simon Horman)
  - add the built binary to .gitignore

the test doesn't seem worth carrying in the tree TBH
If we really want this sort of unit test we should probably
integrate it with more with the net side (the PTP target doesn't get
run by netdev CI) and automatically create a netdevsim device which
has a SW PTP etc. Again, not sure it's worth for a trival overflow test
tho.
