[Bug libc/4495] New: _POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG shouldn't be defined for __WORDSIZE == 32

[mfundarek at nds dot com]

in bits/environments.h: 

#if __WORDSIZE == 32
# define _POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG	1
# define _XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG	1
#endif

then comment:

/* We optionally provide an environment with the above size but an 64-bit
   side `off_t'.  Therefore we don't define _XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG.  */

The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6 IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition:
_POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG
    The implementation provides a C-language compilation environment with 32-bit
int, long, and pointer types and an off_t type using at least 64 bits.

also from stdint.h chapter in POSIX specification:
If an implementation provides integer types with width 64 that meet these
requirements, then the following types are required: int64_t uint64_t

In particular, this will be the case if any of the following are true:
      The implementation supports the _POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG programming
environment and the application is being built in the _POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG
programming environment (see the Shell and Utilities volume of IEEE Std
1003.1-2001, c99, Programming Environments).
...

My understanding:
If _POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG is defined then 64bit types are available, off_t will
be at least 64bits long. Same probably applies to _XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG. All this
seems to be confirmed by the _XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG comment quoted.

Suggestion:
Either undef both of these macros or
#if __WORDSIZE == 32
# define _POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG	-1
# define _XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG	-1
#endif

The implementation provides that compilation environment.
Try
getconf POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG_CFLAGS
getconf POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG_LDFLAGS
resp. confstr with _CS_POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG_CFLAGS etc. to see what you
need to use as CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to compile resp. link in such an compilation
environment.
