Sorry for the confusion, that manpage snippet came from a Gentoo/x86 system. But I digress, you are right, the right interfaces to be using here is lseek64 and open64.

Now those also don't eixst on OSX, because as you pointed out, they have no legacy to deal with and are just using sizeof off_t == 8.

So we'd probably have to do something like:

	#ifndef _LFS_LARGEFILE
	#define open64 open
	#define lseek64 lseek
	#endif

and then start using the open64/lseek64 variants instead. Or do the reverse #define's. ;-)
