I suggest to switch to Ocaml (even on a 32 bits machine)

% ocaml
        Objective Caml version 3.08.0

# #load "unix.cma";;
# Unix.time ();;
- : float = 1094732223.
# Unix.gmtime (Unix.time ());;
- : Unix.tm =
{Unix.tm_sec = 16; Unix.tm_min = 17; Unix.tm_hour = 12; Unix.tm_mday = 9;
 Unix.tm_mon = 8; Unix.tm_year = 104; Unix.tm_wday = 4; Unix.tm_yday = 252;
 Unix.tm_isdst = false}
# 

I am not sure that staying in Caml Light is a sensible thing to do,
especially for code that you are working on. Maybe taking the
necessary time to port your code from Caml-Light (which is not active
anymore) to Ocaml (which is actively developped and has a bigger
community) is really worth the effort.
