[issue23152] fstat64 required on Windows

[Josh Rosenberg]

Josh Rosenberg added the comment:

I believe explicitly calling the 64 bit version of a function is usually frowned upon. At least on *NIX systems, the standard solution is to define -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 during the build process, so off_t seamlessly becomes a 64 bit value, and the 64 bit version of appropriate functions is called and linked (fstat64, mmap64, etc.).
