Which are those? Can you give an example?
and programs which couldn't be recompiled with this flag due to their

That's a problem already. You can't reliably mix code compiled with
different settings of FILE_OFFSET_BITS. We already expose both ABIs,
and I don't see why the ABI issue would be made worse (or better) if we
merely changed the default.
