Another remote possibility is that a ulimit came into play, of course. For what it's worth, Fedora Core 5's coreutils package has this in the build log for i386: checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... 64 checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no If the original reporter is having problems with the Fedora Core 5 RPM, it would greatly help for them to file a bug in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ Tim. */
