Did they explain how to do it correctly?

Makes no sense to me.

I don't know to which line he's refering, but it shouldn't matter if
the source code uses off_t, if it's a long or long long. Can someone
explain this to me or point me to the relevant file and line?

Sounds wrong to me since -Wall just displays warning messages. I think
the error will persist, but is not reported and therefore the source
code compiles.
