A long shot, but try (2LL << 30) (the "LL" is important).  I don't
expect that will make it work but if you're out of ideas... ;)

BTW. The following works fine for me:

#v+
#define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define RUN(expr) if ((expr) < 0) { perror(#expr); return 1; } else (void)0

int main(void) {
	const long long pos =3D (2LL << 30) + 10;
	int fd;

	RUN(fd =3D open("deleteme", O_WRONLY | O_LARGEFILE | O_CREAT, 0600));
	RUN(lseek64(fd, pos, SEEK_SET));
	RUN(write(fd, "a", 1));
	return 0;
}
#v-

=2D-=20
