No, it isn't, it's a bug in patch. Just add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 to the
CFLAGS in debian/rules and it works. Otherwise fseeko() isn't defined
(compile with -Wall and you'll see the warning) and more to the point it
isn't redirected to fseeko64(), but off_t is (to __off64_t). So what happens
is that the 32 bit fseeko() is called with a 64 bit argument and of course
complains about an invalid argument.
