However all software is *not* written to use LFS extended versions of things. Often using defines of:
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
in the Makefile of said software CFLAGS is enough, but that may still sometimes not be enough. Specifically if the system will then use some libraries which are not LFS compatible.
