Cool:)

I am curious which one is more easily to get ack:p

IIUC, it is usually what glibc does.
If we want to define off_t to 64bit in ilp32, the follow syscall may
need to define as non-compat too:
sys_fadvise64
sys_sendfile
sys_sendfile64
sys_lseek
sys_splice
sys_sync_file_range2
sys_truncate
sys_ftruncate
