Bug 1726 – Patch failes for 32 bit sparc machines with 64bit file handles

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Maarten Thibaut (RETIRED) 2002-04-13 08:00:32 UTC]

On SPARC machines where a 32 bit architecture is chosen in userland, patch does
not compile correctly for 64 bit filehandles. It assumes 32 bit filehandles instead.

The error produced is:

patch: **** fseek : Invalid argument

Adding this line in the ebuild before try ./configure fixes the issue:

CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500"; export CFLAGS

The associated mask for this fix is jamming some people!

I have patch-r3 and the you are requiring -r4 somehow rsync is not downloading 
the r4 ebuild? I am not sure what is going on here see gentoo-user. I got 
around it by manually changing the /etc/make.profile/packages file to -r3

What is the status on this Maarten?  And is it related to bug #56 in any way?
