In ia64 kernel, the O_LARGEFILE flag is forced when
opening a file. This is problematic for execution of
32 bit processes, which are not largefile aware, either
by SW emulation or by HW execution.
For such processes, the problem is two-fold:
1) When trying to open a file that is larger than 4G
   the operation should fail, but it's not
2) Writing to offset larger than 4G should fail, but
   it's not

O_LARGEFILE works great on my 32-bit platform.

Is this an ABI bug?  O_LARGEFILE should be OK for 32-bit processes.
