Description Spekadyon 2025-02-15 20:46:59 UTC 
sys-fs/exfatprogs-1.2.7 fails to build on a musl/llvm profile. The compilation ends with the following message:

> 1086 |                 struct exfat_dentry *dentry, loff_t dentry_off)

Comment 3 Spekadyon 2025-02-15 20:53:54 UTC 
In musl, the loff_t type is defined in fcntl.h, if _GNU_SOURCE is defined. The attached patch solves the issue. I haven't tested the patch on other profiles though.

Please create an issue upstream.

Comment 6 Spekadyon 2025-02-16 13:13:40 UTC 
Done: https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs/issues/294

After looking at exfatprogs code, the patch I posted yesterday doesn't seem to be the proper fix to the issue. I'm waiting on the maintainers output.
