Yes, that was about glibc. For Autoconf and Gnulib it's long been 
decided that _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 was the way to go, if it made any 
difference for off_t. Since ino_t is used much less often than off_t, 
the argument is even stronger that _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 is the way to go 
for alpha and s390x on glibc - changing the width of ino_t is a much 
smaller deal than changing the width of off_t.
