Ok, I guess it will remain a mystery then.

Should we perhaps define __ARCH_WANT_SYSCALL_OFF_T for the unistd.h
file then, so we provide both the off_t and the loff_t based syscalls?

That would avoid the extra wrapper in glibc when using a 32-bit
off_t if that is the preferred mode for user space.
