Can anybody correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK, Oracle 8i uses glibc 2.1.3. The LFS interface in glibc 2.1.3 is complete - but the implementation not. The implementation in 2.1.3 contains also some bugs, e.g. ftello64 is broken. If you want to use the LFS interface, you need to use a glibc that has been compiled against headers from a kernel with LFS support in it.
