nice, but can't we add the lfs flags to our default toolchain flags or
even better patch glibc headers to always redefine these functions to
the 64bits variants?

I don't understand why one should add append-lfs-flags to almost every
single package out there. Freebsd has been doing this since version 7.
And even dropped the 32bits symbols when going to libc.so.7 I think.

Some packages might break with such a change, but they're already
half-broken according to your e-mail, so those are the ones that should
be fixed.
