Description Andreas Schwab 2009-09-23 09:33:48 UTC 
The zlib API in <zlib.h> contains a few functions that take or return z_off_t values.  This is incompatible with LFS, where z_off_t (which is defined as off_t) depends on _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.  Either z_off_t must be defined to a fixed type or the API must be extended to cover both _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=32 and _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.
Comment 1 Ivana Varekova 2010-01-29 08:43:26 UTC 
The problem is fixed in upstream (from 1.2.3.4).
