If it's two out of 25000 source packages whose ABIs might be affected, I think that shows it's much safer as a change in glibc than moving to _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 as a default (which I expect will happen when someone puts the work in). And probably safer than many past changes done through symbol versioning. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
