Have to correct myself on that one. I said old when I should have said
ancient. A quick check in git showed that support for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
was added in October of 1997. If you don't know what that means: That
was between Pricess Diana's funeral and the Kyoto Protocol.

So there really is absolutely no reason to use LFS64 functions ever.

Ciao,
Markus
