I'd say it would be better if you had just posted the whole set of
your changes as a single patch with the necessary comments, both
because this way your E-mail is ready to be applied as a patch and
because it's less work for you to arrange modifications in separate
sections :-)

These changes seem okay to me. I can remember having issues with
using off_t instead of loff_t myself (though I can recall where).

Printing to a file is nothing fancy: the fprintf functions should
suffice. Also, some translators use the error () function for
debugging purposes (unionfs, eth-multiplexer). In this way you will
get messages to the shell you've started the translator from.
