Wouldn't it be better to lobby the MinGW folk to fix their problem?
Or even help them with it?  I can't see the rationale for implementing
a workaround that helps only us.

                        

There is a library available from the gnuwin32 project that advertises fseeko and fseeko64. So we probably have a choice of requiring this library or doing it ourselves.

see http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libgw32c.htm
