See my notes at 
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2019-January/100410.html> on 
what would be involved in changing the default *just of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS* 
for user programs, depending on whether the mode used to build glibc tests 
is also changed (but without changing the settings used for building glibc 
itself, which is much more complicated).
