Indeed the command
  $ ../src/timeout 4294967296 sleep 0
fails with exit code 124, like
  $ ../src/timeout 4294967295 sleep 0

The limit between success and failure is around 829000000, but not at a
fixed threshold. I got

$ ./timeout 829404130 sleep 0; echo $?
0
$ ./timeout 829404140 sleep 0; echo $?
124

but now (a couple of minutes later) I get

$ ./timeout 829404130 sleep 0; echo $?
124
$ ./timeout 829404120 sleep 0; echo $?
124
$ ./timeout 829403950 sleep 0; echo $?
0
$ ./timeout 829403960 sleep 0; echo $?
124

The limit appears to be the number of seconds between 2038-01-19 and now.
You see? Apparently a time_t that overflowed into a negative number.

Here the error message "tail: inotify cannot be used, reverting to polling:
Function not implemented" is clear.

$ nm tail|grep inotify
000204ea b disable_inotify
         U inotify_add_watch@@GLIBC_2.4

Libc has the inotify call, but it apparently returns ENOSYS. Strace
gives more details:

$ strace ./tail --follow=name no-such
...
