With newer clang builds (19.x), there's a warning for implicit function
declarations and it rejects linux-test.c.

glibc/musl's readdir64() declaration in dirent is guarded by
_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE, so we'll define it to fix the warning.

Looking at the glibc headers the LARGEFILE stuff seems to be mainly
about cleanly mapping readdir64 to readdir. I don't think we are trying
to exercise 64 on 32 here so we could do:

Actually scratch that, this is a 32 compat hack:

  1f442da51e (tests/tcg/multiarch: fix 32bit linux-test on 64bit host)

Is the __USE_LARGEFILE64 symbol in the hexagon headers?

musl does not define/use __USE_LARGEFILE64, no.  If it's well defined I 
could examine whether it makes sense to add this feature to musl, 
though.  How does __USE_LARGEFILE64 differ from _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE?  Is 
it more appropriate to define that here?

Digging into the GNU source _LARGEFILE* is the correct define, the __USE
flags are internal. features.h says:

   _LARGEFILE_SOURCE    Some more functions for correct standard I/O.
   _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE  Additional functionality from LFS for large files.

although looking at _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE should be defined by
_GNU_SOURCE which is already set for linux-test.c

According to the musl WHATSNEW:

  compatibility:
  - make _GNU_SOURCE imply _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

So is this a hexagon only thing?

Yeah, I just noticed that myself. I guess I will look at how it's done 
and see if I can fix this so it's more general and can include this case.

It's not - I expect it would impact any architecture using musl.

Hmm.  The _GNU_SOURCE guard was deliberately removed in 
25e6fee27f4a293728dd15b659170e7b9c7db9bc (see below).  IMO the relevant 
text is "portable software should be prepared for them not to exist" and 
" the intent is that this be a very short-term measure and that the 
macros be removed entirely in the next release cycle."  They're still 
there, guarded by only _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE.  I will bring up the 
question about what the future plan for this is on the musl list, but I 
also think that the appropriate, portable thing to do is to change the 
test case regardless of musl's plans.  If there were some other 
conformant C library it could implement it the same way.  IIUC the 
relevant specification is here 
https://unix.org/version2/whatsnew/lfs20mar.html


commit 25e6fee27f4a293728dd15b659170e7b9c7db9bc
Author: Rich Felker <dalias@aerifal.cx>
Date:   Tue Sep 27 15:04:05 2022 -0400

     remove LFS64 programming interfaces (macro-only) from _GNU_SOURCE

     these badly pollute the namespace with macros whenever _GNU_SOURCE is
     defined, which is always the case with g++, and especially tends to
     interfere with C++ constructs.

     as our implementation of these was macro-only, their removal cannot
     affect any existing binaries. at the source level, portable software
     should be prepared for them not to exist.

     for now, they are left in place with explicit _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE.
     this provides an easy temporary path for integrators/distributions to
     get packages building again right away if they break while working on
     a proper, upstreamable fix. the intent is that this be a very
     short-term measure and that the macros be removed entirely in the next
     release cycle.

After discussion on the musl list, the suggestion was to use 
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS to get portable behavior without relying on non-POSIX 
LFS64: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2024/09/18/5

I'll test this suggestion out and send a new patch.
