building perl5.005_61 with -Duse64bits, I had a compiler error
relating to IVSIZE not being declared. The following patch fixes
the problem. With this patch perl5.005_61 compiles and passes all
the test except op/lfs.t (large file system).

Oops! Sorry. But many thanks for testing -Duse64bits.

When you say "passes all the tests except op/lfs.t", please be more
exact. Is the test skipped or does it fail? If the latter, please
run it separately​:

  cd t
  ./perl op/lfs.t

and tell us the output. Also, how did lib/syslfs.t test out?

P.S. I also got the following strange result

% ./perl -lwe 'print scalar gmtime'
Tue Aug 103079215114 34359738391​:8585639624704​:935489303 0

I get the same effect with -Dccflags=-DBIG_TIME

The 705032707 indicates that truncation from 5 gigabytes to 32-bit worlds
took place.

On which filesystem and more importantly what kind of a filesystem did
you run the test? ufs? tmpfs? nfs?

Hmmm. lfs.t (which tests stdio, or its moral equivalent) fails,
but syslfs.t (which tests raw io) succeeds. Strange.

I will look into this, too. Looks like a printf problem.

What does mount(1) show for the filesystem?

Fixed in _62.
