Description of problem: The libelf.h header now uses off64_t instead of off_t in various places, but it does nothing to ensure that such a type is defined leading to failed compilation of any code which uses libelf.h without defining _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): elfutils-libelf-devel-0.130-3.fc8.x86_64 How reproducible: Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try and compile a C source file containing #include <libelf.h> Actual results: Compile fails. Expected results: Compile works. Additional info:
Note that in prior versions, programs built without -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on 32-bit machines were buggy if they used the Elf_Data type directly. So if you want to work correctly with a variety of elfutils-devel versions, using that setting is the best plan. I will replace off64_t with loff_t in the header for the next version.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is fixed, so can be closed as such rather than as WONTFIX.
