I think the reason is really pretty simple: in the lfcompile
environment, certain data types change size. These are documented in
the lfcompile(5) man page as off_t, rlim_t, ino_t, blkcnt_t, fsblkcnt_t,
and fsfilcnt_t. And a quick test shows:
% grep off_t /usr/include/sys/procfs.h
off_t pio_offset; /* virtual address in target process */
In other words, if you use lfcompile, then the priovec_t structure no
longer matches between what you're using and what the kernel thinks you
(as a 32-bit process) are actually using.
Or, as the same man page says, you just can't do that. So don't. ;-}
