Thanks for the report. > As far as I know, only AIX does use _LARGE_FILES, so the attached patch, > which works with both gcc and xlc for gzip-1.3.13, should be safe. If stat is defined, we can't be positive it was defined to stat64 or some other spelling, like __stat64. I'd feel safer blindly replacing all known spellings, as and when we encounter them. So that I can fully understand the situation on AIX, what does the system header show for stat64()? Is there a struct stat64? I guess if the #define stat stat64 occurs before either declaration of stat() or struct stat, that would explain what you are seeing. I think I will probably apply your patch with minor modifications (the parenthesis in #if defined are unnecessary), but seeing the system header will make it more comfortable to explain why we're doing this. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
