It is.  32-bit binaries will not be able to handle time_t values past
January 2038, whether in API's to get the current time or to access
timestamps on files.

https://blogs.oracle.com/alanc/entry/lp64_bit_by_bit#lp64-abi-changes
lists some other differences between the 32-bit & 64-bit ABI's on
Solaris/illumos OS'es (though illumos won't see the ASLR or ADI
benefits, since those are post-closing additions to Solaris).
