On further thought, changing the declarations of fseek() and ftell()
would cause problems mixing code that uses the old and new versions.
There are probably ways to deal with that with clever linking, but
I now suggest that fseek() and ftell() should be left as they are
(and perhaps deprecated?), and fseeko(), ftello(), and off_t should
be adopted by a new C standard.

(Since lcc-win uses non-standard declarations for fseek() and ftell()
I wonder if that causes problems linking code compiled by lcc-win
with code compiled by other compilers.  Is that supported?)
