Re: [PATCH 1/2] Add --with-ilp32-large-off_t

Hi,

On x86-64, ILP32 with large off_t (64-bit) can be either -mx32 or -m32
with "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64".  This patch adds
a configure time option to choose which one to use for ILP32_OFFBIG.
Any comments?

I'm not sure what you're doing, this sounds really wrong to me and I smell an ABI breakage. So, please help me to understand the problem you're trying to solve.


Could you show a short example program that has a problem and explain the problem a bit more?
