Ah, so it is part of the series. I had not checked that here.

I don't know what the glibc developers prefer, but I think the
result needs to be something like that: either __OFF_T_TYPE is
defined as you write above as a 64-bit type, or the user-visible
off_t typedef unconditionally uses __OFF64_T_TYPE rather than
__OFF_T_TYPE.

I see.

This would indeed be silly, we really don't want anyone
to access the old __st_ino field or the 32-bit version of
the offset here.
