Hi!
It seams that some glibc 2.0 versions claims that they have big file
support even if they haven't. In next MySQL version we will fix
configure to not try to detect big file support on Linux..
The fix for the open64() problem is to remove the big-file-test from
configure, rerun configure and recompile MySQL.
In other words, remove the following lines from configure:
----
# Big file support ? (Solaris 2.6 style)
# This may have to be commented on Relient (Siemens) unix
echo $ac_n "checking "for Sun style big file support"""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:4890: checking "for Sun style big file support"" >&5
LFS_CFLAGS=`getconf LFS_CFLAGS 2>/dev/null`
if test $? = 0 -a "$SYSTEM_TYPE" != "sni-sysv4"
then
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $LFS_CFLAGS"
CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS $LFS_CFLAGS"
#
LFS_LDFLAGS=`getconf LFS_LDFLAGS`
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS $LFS_LDFLAGS"
#
LFS_LIBS=`getconf LFS_LIBS`
LIBS="$LIBS $LFS_LIBS"
echo "$ac_t"""Found. Using C $LFS_CFLAGS LD $LFS_LDFLAGS LIB $LFS_LIBS"" 1>&6
else
echo "$ac_t"""No"" 1>&6
fi
