The issue here is the Apple / Darwin 9 64-bit OS API doesn't define "standard" 64-bit functions for file access differently than 32-bit functions, except for 'X'stat64. Even 'off64_t' isn't defined. Instead, these functions "just work" correctly in 64-bit mode; there is no difference between the function calls for 32-bit or 64-bit functions. This is different with (at least) Linux, which seems to add the '64' extension for 64-bit functions, leaving the "non-64" functions for 32-bit functions, for backwards compatibility.

Most of the issues are in libguile/_scm.h, but there's still one in libguile/fports.c. I'll attach patches that fix these issues, though I really don't know if this is the correct way to do it. "make check" does work correctly with these, so they can't be too incorrect ;)

Portfile for GUILE 1.8.3 that should work with 10.4 and 10.5

[mdickens@…]

Patch to libguile/_scm.h that should work with 10.5 as well as 10.4

[mdickens@…]

Patch for libguile/fports.c that should work with 10.5 as well as 10.4
