There exist man pages for truncate64 and ftruncate64 but the man pages
don't contain the string "truncate64". I'm guessing the function (or
macro) may have been deprecated, but I don't know that.

Upstream added a note some days after this last mail:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original Linux truncate() and ftruncate() system calls were not designed
to handle large file offsets. Consequently, Linux 2.4 added truncate64() and
ftruncate64() system calls that handle large files. However, these details can
be ignored by applications using glibc, whose wrapper functions transparently
employ the more recent system calls where they are available.
