Although,
I've been watching with great anticipation as Corinna has added some
framework for LFS (large file support) under Cygwin. This can be seen by
the 64bit typedefs for off_t and dev_t in /usr/include/cygwin/types.h. Of
course it is ifdef'ed so that these can't be used (yet). A ray of hope?
Possibly...
Cheers,
Nicholas
