FYI, I tried to rebuild everything last night on Windows but the dll build
failed because fopen64 and friends were missing from libc (although stdio64
is there and I ran configure on newlib).
Also I realized recently we are heading for trouble with lastlog.
It's really an array of ~200 byte structures indexed by uid. Currently
its max size is ~ 200 x 64k = 13MB. With the change it can be 800 GB or so.
ssh supports (on the fly) lastlog as a directory, with per user files,
but I don't think inetutils does. Not sure what to do.
