It should be, see commit b97e911643 ("Support for large files
on 32bit systems.", 17-02-2007), where you can see that the
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS macro is set to 64. This asks <stdio.h> et.al.,
to use the "Large File System" API and a 64-bit off_t.
I can't boot my 32-bit installation at the moment, and it seems
that my 64-bit multilib system is not playing ball:
$ gcc -m32 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -o t t.c
In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:27:0,
from t.c:2:
/usr/include/features.h:367:25: fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or
directory
compilation terminated.
