Hi,
I raised this issue before, but I received no reaction.
Right now, `sysdeps/wordsize-32/bits/environments.h' leaves
`_XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG' because
We optionally provide an environment with the above size but an
64-bit side `off_t'.
(Oops there is a typo in thas comment). However, right now this is
only true for the Linux port. The Hurd doesn't support the
`_XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG' environment, and I think in fact no other port does
right now. Therefore I think that
`sysdeps/wordsize-32/bits/environments.h' should define
`_XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG' to `-1' and the current file should be moved to
the linux specific directories.
If yu agree, I'm willing to provide a patch. Otherwise, please think
of a better solution.
