Re: [PATCH] AIX NFS patches part1

[gasha]

Thanks for pointing to old threads.
I was able to find root cause of this issue, somewhere in LKML.
And was forced to patch and recompile some more freeware tools, like "tar"
and "make", used in our development environment.

Sad truth about all that - lack of consistent LARGEFILE support in GNU
header files and Makefiles/autoconfig/etc...

There is no magic - someone has to write some code between #if and #endif :(
