Is this really true? (Sorry, I haven't been following this debate.) I don't want to add something like `#define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE' to each module that wants to work correctly with large Solaris files. Nor do I want to change lseek/off_t to llseek/offset_t. That sort of thing would be a porting nightmare. Surely Sun isn't planning anything as braindamaged as that.
