filesize() acts differently between platforms and distributions.
I tried manually compiling PHP on a 32bit platform. Filesize() would fail on files >2G.
Then I compiled again, adding CFLAGS=
getconf LFS_CFLAGS in front of configure.
Then filesize() would success, but the result would be converted to a 32bit signed integer...
However on 64bit systems, PHP's integers are 64bit signed, and this would work just well...
So now the question is : should linux distributions (Debian, etc) define LFS_CFLAGS or not ? Doing
so makes PHP be able to open/seek such files, but makes its behaviour buggy (stat() is supposed to
fail if file size is >32bit and appl does not support such integers)...
