Of course I understand LFS. I don't understand what you think is wrong nor
what you think you are fixing. Those are what need to precede any patch.
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 might be intractable for strace. It needs to decode
the 32-bit struct stat et al formats in the syscalls that use them. In the
case of stat, I guess it's a different kernel struct declaration for Linux
anyway. But I'm not sure that is true of all the LFS-affected types.
You need to explain what you are attempting to gain from using
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.
Thanks,
Roland
