64-bit srandom()?

I searched around and didn't see anything relevant...

In our 32-bit projects, we're calling:

srandom(time(NULL));

What's the best way of doing something like the above in a 64-bit program? srandom() takes a 32-bit integer when compiling for both 32- bit and 64-bit, but time() returns a 64-bit integer when compiling for 64-bit. I guess I have until 2038 to worry about this, but I'd rather deal with it now...
