+	  All new 32-bit architectures should have 64-bit off_t type on
+	  userspace side which corresponds to the loff_t kernel type. This
+	  is the requirement for modern ABIs. Some existing architectures
+	  already have 32-bit off_t. This option is enabled for all such
+	  architectures explicitly. Namely: arc, arm, blackfin, cris, frv,
+	  h8300, hexagon, m32r, m68k, metag, microblaze, mips32, mn10300,
+	  nios2, openrisc, parisc32, powerpc32, score, sh, sparc, tile32,
+	  unicore32, x86_32 and xtensa. This is the complete list. Any
+	  new 32-bit architecture should declare 64-bit off_t type on user
+	  side and so should not enable this option.
