Re: [PATCH] Use *stat64 instead of *stat in installed programs

May I commit this if I adjust the ChangeLog and mention the bug in NEWS?

The change is OK with the BZ# in the log entry.  But I don't think the bug
should be marked closed until we make all the programs consistent in using
*stat64 everywhere.  So it would be better if you can just post a new
version of the patch that covers everything.

Do you refer to libc-internal uses of *stat, or the use of 64-bit interfaces in the helper programs?

In the latter case, it probably makes sense to compile them with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, making the existing patch redundant.
