Anyway, if you want to check your package(s) and maybe make them

overflow any large values you get back from stat64 etc.
Is %configure spec macro the right place to define FILE_OFFSET_BITS?
Because it breaks struct stat ABI, it should be defined on distrubition
level. For the same reason I can imagine upstream could be reluctant to
embed the defintion for everybody.
