Hmm. Yeah, that should work in principle.
However, did you test the actual backend after that change? Given where you
change the define of off_t, that would affect every call in the backend
that uses off_t, and it just seems very strange that you could get away
with that without touching anything else? (If we're lucky, but I
wouldn't count on it - there ought to be other functions in libc that we
call that takes off_t..)
