I don't mind.

Right.

Unfortunately that's not enough, I suspect.

Vanilla release21-maint will give compilation failures, which go away
with the patch (essentially what I tried on other systems). But even
with these patches, test_largefile fails on the seek(2**31L).
So something else too is going on.
FTR: this is a stock Mandrake 8.1 system w/ glibc 2.2.4.
I don't have much time to spend looking into this right now, but it
would be good to fix for 2.1.2.
