| 0001-Open-Unix.LargeFile-to-avoid-lstat-Value-too-large-f.patch | Open Unix.LargeFile to avoid "lstat: Value too large for defined data type". On 32 bit platforms, because OCaml native ints are limited to 31 bits, there is a trap in the normal Unix.stat, Unix.lstat functions where any field in the stat struct may overflow. The result is random errors like: supermin: error: lstat: Value too large for defined data type: /tmp/tmp.Ss9aYEBASm/d2/root You would probably only see this on armv7. The OCaml Unix module has a "LargeFile" submodule which fixes this by using int64 for some (unfortunately not all) fields. For more information see the OCaml sources, file otherlibs/unix/stat.c, all instances of "EOVERFLOW". |
