OK, I might understand what's going on but not really how. I managed to get it
working by a combination of hacks:
a) in fctnl.h make sure we use the definition of open() in '#ifdef
__REDIRECT' block
b) remove all reference to open.S in NPTL
sysdeps/unix/*/Makefile.commonarch
c) set __libc_open and open as strong alisases to open64 in
libc/*/open64.c
e) recompile my test case (because of the change in the header file)
I might be able to minimise this, but I found this combination to work. NPTL
seems to pull another definition of __libc_open() which is not right. Looking
at the disassembly of libc.so I have no reference to __libc_open after my above
modifications and all reference use open64. Before the modifications part of
the code uses open64 and other uses __libc_open which causes the wrong
behaviour. NPTL pulls the definition of this function somehow - I think, it's
all magic to me still. Is it a compiler bug? Or a build system bug? Or
something else? Hmmmmm
How should _FILE_OFFSET_BITS be set? I was surprised that I had to do the
modification in (a).
