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.
