There are 64 bit capable functions available, see newlib/libc/stdio64.
I didn't implement that stuff, but I think the idea was that targets
using 64 bit off_t would use the fseeko64/ftello64/fsetpos64 functions.

In Cygwin, for instance, off_t is 64 bit.  An application calling
fseeko will actually call fseeko64 by redirecting the fseeko entry
point to fseeko64.
