stat: Value too large for defined data type

[ksf]

Trying to upgrade my nixos, I get this:

+ patchelf --remove-needed libX11.so.6 /nix/store/fam0x73kkn6086sl7g8x01yhz7pl2b1l-ati-drivers-15.12/lib/fglrx_dri.so
stat: Value too large for defined data type

From what I gather on the net, there's possible 64-bit safety issues with stat that require setting the one or other define before including the necessary headers. In particular, the inode of the file is >32 bit:

$ ls -i /nix/store/fam0x73kkn6086sl7g8x01yhz7pl2b1l-ati-drivers-15.12/lib/fglrx_dri.so
5479035664 /nix/store/fam0x73kkn6086sl7g8x01yhz7pl2b1l-ati-drivers-15.12/lib/fglrx_dri.so

The filesystem is a 1.4T xfs on top of lfs:

/dev/mapper/vg0-data0 on /nix/store type xfs (ro,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)

(those are the nixos default options)

Doing

mount -o remount,inode32 /
nix-store --delete <unpacked ati source>

To guarantee that the unpacked files get inodes representable as 32 bit numbers fixes things for me.

This should be fixed in master in commit a4d2166 which added -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.

However, in the context of nixpkgs, there are zillions of upstream packages with the same problem. So you really need inode32 if you use xfs on a 32-bit system.
