I would certainly support having off_t and ino_t always be 64-bit on
new architectures, even if they only support 32-bit pointers. I am
not qualified to assess whether this patch is the right way to go
about it.
Shouldn't blkcnt_t, fsblkcnt_t, and fsfilcnt_t also get this
treatment? (And anything else affected by -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 that
I missed.) And, while we're at it, time_t?
