That's not correct.  At least it should not be correct if the kernel
people have at least a bit of brain.  stat() (as opposed to stat64())
should only fail if any of the values which has to be stored cannot
fit.  Not in general for a 64-bit FS.

This significantly reduces the set of programs which are affected.

Again: use LFS.  It's easy enough.


I have no intention to delay glibc 2.2 even further just because of
this.
