Hi!

To be clear, that approach was NAK'ed by Christoph (and I think that's
a good thing, actually -- one more nail in the non-LFS coffin). I think
what we want merged into glibc is this patch that I sent late on
Thursday:

    [glibc PATCHv2] fcntl: don't define OFD lock constants for 32-bit builds with small file offsets

We'll also need your patch to the fcntl(2) manpage as well, but that's
a separate problem.

Hmm, the patch for man-pages should be updated as well. We need
somethign as:

...
This lock  type  is  Linux-specific,  and  available since Linux 3.15.
On 32bit platform _FILE_OFFSET_BITS must defined to 64 (before including
any header files) to make these locks available.
...

Michael should I send updated patch or will you take care of this?

I can do it, or you can. At the moment, I'm just holding off until I 
see what is accepted into glibc.

Cheers,

Michael
