You are mixing two things up. Your program uses the new LFS
interface, which works on *all* files, even regular files,
but requires a recent (or patched) kernel and a recent glibc
to work.
What I wanted to demonstrate is that on *device nodes*,
it is possible to access beyond 2Gb even on very old kernels,
without using any of the LFS interface, just by using the
old llseek syscall.
