I am sorry, if you still don't understand, I cannot help anymore. Let me tell it to you a last time: You _cannot_ access all files even if you you compiled in large file 32 bit mode. 32 Bit binaries are unable to deal with files that have a time stamp > 2038 You _need_ a 64 Bit Binary in order be able to access or deal with files that have a time stamp that is past 2038. Conclusion: If you like to have a shell that is able to deal with all files, you _need_ a shell compiled in 64 bit mode.
