maybe a fallback to ftell should be needed in case ftello is not available?
IIRC, while maintaining idutils for a short while, I was mailed by
people using idutils with old linux versions. I don't know how old,
but..

The man page says

CONFORMING TO
       SUSv2, POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES
       These  functions  are  found  on  System  V-like systems.  They are not
       present in libc4, libc5, glibc 2.0 but are available since glibc 2.1.

Your call.. ciao,

Claudio
