The changes to 64 bit file access are not propagated automatically to existing applications. E.g. the current `ls' from the fileutils package is compiled with the old (small) stat structure which only has 32 bit off_t for the file size. If you want to actually use the new struct stat and off_t with 64 bit, you have to recompile the application. Sorry, but there's no way around that.
