[Bug libc/11460] New: fts has no LFS support


On 32bits archs, fts has no large-file support and using <fts.h> has an #error 
breaking the compilation if source is built with LFS support.

This is kind of sad since the FTS_NOSTAT can be used, and a programmer knowing 
this limitation can still make use of fts() on glibc redoing the stat call (with 
LFS support) by himself.

Sadly the #error prevents the user to do that (as to avoid the #error you have 
to undef the _LARGEFILE_SOURCE/_FILE_OFFSET_BITS which will at the same time 
make stat() be diverted to the non LFS-ready one.

Of course, having a LFS-ready fts() implementation would be even nicer.
