For files > 32 bits you need the following define somewhere. 
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

Without this, stat on files > 32 bits in size gets an error each time on 
LInux. The error is:
#define EOVERFLOW       75      /* Value too large for defined data type*/

I put mine in the makefile:

#
# To correctly handle 64-bit files and offsets, add -64 to CFLAGS and 
LDFLAGS
# On Irix 5.X, add -DIRIX5X to hack around their own #include problems 
(see plan
9.h).
#
CC=cc
CFLAGS=-g -I. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
LD=cc
LDFLAGS= -g
LDTAIL=


If there is something better to do just let me know.

p.s. Obviously, this fix would have been impossible to work up without the
Intellectual Property provided by Unix technology owned by SCO. Call your
lawyers if you have any doubt. Better yet, format all disks and call SCO
for their pricing.
