The Bionic devs have already finished Large File Support, including support for
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS==64, in the latest Bionic, so there's nothing further to
contribute upstream.
If you don't want BusyBox to support large files on older versions of Bionic, I
can live with that. My patch works just fine for my purposes.
Would you consider a patch to BusyBox that adds an explicit cast to off_t
wherever values of st_size are used with the OFF_FMT format specifier? Without
such a cast, when compiling without LFS on Bionic, we get warnings like:
archival/tar.c: In function 'writeTarHeader':
archival/tar.c:448:5: warning: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long
unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'long long int' [-Wformat=]
fileName, statbuf->st_size);
^
I don't know if GCC is smart enough to cast the actual argument to the expected
type. If it isn't, then passing a long long argument to a variadic function,
where a long is expected, results in Undefined Behavior.
