Attached patch improves sendfile syscall compatibility with (older)
Solaris 12, where non-null third argument is required. It also paves
the way for compatibility with Solaris 10/11, where otherwise
additional -lsendfile is needed to link with libsendfile library. The
change has no effect on linux.

* src/filesystem/ops.cc (do_copy_file) [_GLIBCXX_USE_SENDFILE]:
Use pointer to zero as non-null third argument of sendfile call.
Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu {,-m32} CentOS
5 and Fedora 24. Also tested by Rainer on older Solaris 12, where the
patch fixes testsuite failure.
OK for mainline?
Uros.

Is there a good reason to call it "always_zero_offset" rather than
something that fits on one line, like "offset"?
OK for trunk anyway, thanks.
(I actually already sent a similar patch, see
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-10/msg02276.html but I didn't
commit it yet due to some network issues I've been having today).
