does it ?  doesn't seem like it does to me.  here's glibc's fcntl.c:
	io/fcntl.c - generic stub that sets ENOSYS
	sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fcntl.c - just calls syscall(fcntl)
	sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/wordsize-32/fcntl.c - just calls syscall(fcntl64)
	sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/fcntl.c - same as above
	<all the other 32-bit arches include the i386 file>

the kernel is where it gets interesting:
	fs/compat.c:
		COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3(fcntl):
			rejects all 64-bit commands w/EINVAL
			passes all other calls to compat_sys_fcntl64
		COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3(fcntl64):
			rewrites 32-bit flock struct to 64-bit flock struct
			passes args to sys_fcntl 
	fs/fcntl.c:
		SYSCALL_DEFINE3(fcntl):
			passes all args to do_fcntl
		SYSCALL_DEFINE3(fcntl64):
			handles 64-bit flock commands
			passes all others commands to do_fcntl
		do_fcntl:
			handles all commands using native sized flock struct

so for a 32-bit system (e.g. i386), you must match LFS & command usage.
if LFS is turned on, then using 32-bit commands w/struct flock fails.
if LFS is turned off, then using 64-bit commands w/struct flock fails.
