This bug has serious repercussions for bootstrapping--and thus for the entire
GNU Guix distribution (not to mention those other distributions which do not
enable large file support). If I were glibc I would be recalling their
last few releases and would be telling everyone not to use those releases.

Yes, that is correct.

There's a branch wip-file-offset-64-sledgehammer (branched off core-updates)
where I'm trying to fix this bug for good.
I keep running into other problems (which have nothing to do with this bug) on
it--which is why I have to do other commits to fix those OTHER problems (to
core-updates).
Each one of those unrelated bugs delays me for a day each (first I have to
notice that one of the build servers stopped building everything on
wip-file-offset-64-sledgehammer, then I have to build core-updates to
see whether it has the problem too (also, chances are that the build of
core-updates on i686-linux-on-x86_64 and armhf-linux-on-aarch64 hangs because
the readdir problem causes an endless loop!), and then fix the problem on
core-updates, then rebase branch wip-file-offset-64-sledgehammer on that
core-updates, and finally restart the build of everything on all architectures
again).
(For example, I just fixed mesa--but it's not reproducible. Was it not
reproducible before? No one knows... WHY NOT?)
(Right now xorg-server has a problem with event (non-)ordering... again,
something that is definitely unrelated to file size. So there I have to go
test that on core-updates again)
Not to mention that on the aarch64 build server I still don't have a working
home directory. Otherwise I'd just do crontab -e and add the thing above
by myself. But crontab -e probably doesn't work either...
This is so frustrating.
