Large files support and libc

[Dmitry Krasnov <dek@amur.dti.ru>]

Hello!

I'm primarily FreeBSD user so excuse me if my question is too stupid for 
debian folks. I've used Debian 2.2 for telephony tasks last year with 
kernel-2.2.18 but last week I've tried to upgrade it to woody and 
kernel-2.4.18 because of large files support. System was upgraded smoothly 
but I can't make LFS work. According to many HOWTOs that I found on the web I 
have built and have installed kernel image and headers with make-kpkg. Next I 
built glibc with new kernel headers:

pharaoh# uname -a
Linux pharaoh.amur.dti 2.4.18 #3 Mon Dec 2 11:10:00 YAKT 2002 i686 unknown 
unknown GNU/Linux
pharaoh# export LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18; apt-get --build 
source glibc
[skip]
pharaoh# dpkg -i libc6_2.3.1-5_i386.deb libc6-dev_2.3.1-5_i386.deb 
locales_2.3.1-5_all.deb

Next I rebuilt coreutils for testing:

pharaoh# apt-get --build source coreutils
[skip]
pharaoh# dpkg -i coreutils_4.5.3-4_i386.deb
[skip]
pharaoh# dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1024 count=4500000
File size limit exceeded

Anyway 2G size limit still exists. What's wrong? Am I missing something? Any 
suggestions?
