Fwd: -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS

[Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>]

OK, I'm getting exactly the same issues on S/390 (raptor) as I do on the ARM 
machines.

Obviously I am doing something very wrong, could someone please tell me what 
it is?

This list seems to get a faster response than debian-arm...

Once I get this issue solved I'll have the entire user-space code for SE Linux 
running on S/390.  ;)

I've just started trying to get SE Linux going on ARM.  The Makefile for one
of the important utility programs (the program to find all the files on the
file system and relabel them to the correct security context) uses
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (it needs to stat() every file on the file system
including those over 2G in size).

When I compile this on debussy it fails, among other problems the code wants
to use >> operations for hashing an ino_t.

I've attached a little test program I use for creating large files with
 holes. On my x86 systems I used to be able to create large files with the
 attached program (although recently it has started giving signal 25 when I
 try).

On debussy my hole program refuses to create large files, but "cat /dev/zero

>> file" will bring a file over the 2G limit without any problems.

Any tips on getting large file support portable (or on ./configure tests to
 do it right)?

Currently I'm just using -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=32 and it seems to work OK.
