The difference between the 32/64 bit off_t is done via new system
calls (i.e. lseek vs olseek). Since static binaries contain a copy
of the library routines they are using, they will continue to run
with no problems. Old dynamically linked binaries will be using the
old system calls.

Hope this helps,
