Patch for ebuild that fixes 31 bit limit

The fix is to use -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE when compiling.

[Comment 2 Ole Tange 2003-09-04 06:33:55 UTC]

The fix is to use: -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE  
Here is a patch:  
  
diff sysklogd-1.4.1-r4.ebuild sysklogd-1.4.1-r4.ebuild~  
19,20c19  
<       sed -e "s:-O3:${CFLAGS} -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE:"  
Makefile.orig > Makefile  
< #     sed -e "s:-O3:${CFLAGS}:" Makefile.orig > Makefile  
---  
>       sed -e "s:-O3:${CFLAGS}:" Makefile.orig > Makefile
