I made it

    BUGS
       All  of  the  APIs described in this man page are not safe when
       compiling a program using the LFS APIs  (e.g.,  when  compiling
       with  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64).  This means these APIs are unus‐
       able on current 32-bit systems, since those  systems  are  nor‐
       mally built with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.


Okay?

Cheers,

Michael
