Those are for Large File Summit support (a hackish way to claim POSIX support while still having sizeof(off_t) > sizeof(unsigned long)). Effectively they do the same thing as FreeBSD does with `COMPAT' syscalls, except that the ``old'' calls are still made available in certain compilation environments. FreeBSD never supported (this particular expansion of) LFS; 4.4BSD came with large file support built-in and simply ignored the POSIX/C89 issue for the most part. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
