OK, if you already know it's a kernel issue, it's certainly not a problem caused by your proposed ftello / fseek... patches. So I'm applying your patch: 2009-02-28 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> * tests/test-freadseek.c (main): Disable test beyond end of file on FreeMiNT. * tests/test-ftello.c (main): Likewise.
