  Gnulib module: fseeko
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  IRIX 5.3, OSF/1 4.0, Solaris 2.5.1, mingw, MSVC 9.
  @item
  The declaration of @code{fseeko} in @code{<stdio.h>} is not enabled by default
  on some platforms:
  glibc 2.3.6, OSF/1 5.1.
  @item
  This function fails on seekable stdin, stdout, and stderr: cygwin <= 1.5.24.
  @item
  On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fseeko} does not work
  correctly with files larger than 2 GB.  (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 64-bit type, but @code{fseeko} is
  not present, stream operations on files larger than 2 GB silently do
  the wrong thing.  This affects BSD/OS, which is mostly obsolete.
