Package: jam
Version: 2.5rel-1
Severity: normal

Because jam is not compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 it treats any
file over 2G as "missing"; this is particularly inconvenient when
using jam to build iso images of large software releases.

Since jam doesn't deliver any libraries, this seems like a reasonable
change to make unilaterally, as nothing else cares what ABI it's
using.

(Be sure to build the final jam, not just jam0, with that option, I
made that mistake the first time through :-)
