 Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
 @itemize
+@item
+On some platforms the types @code{blksize_t} and @code{suseconds_t}
+are signed integer types that are wider than @code{long}:

+This module, together with the module @code{largefile}, also defines the type
+@code{off_t} to a 64-bit integer type on some platforms:
