Hi,
I am preparing a release and would like to remove UCLIBC_HAS_LFS
before doing it.
I believe UCLIBC_HAS_LFS does make the code more complex and
the benefit to disable it to save some bytes is not high enough.
Most users have UCLIBC_HAS_LFS enabled and it is enabled by default.
Attached is a patch.
Any comments?
best regards
Waldemar

I welcome this change - is there going to be impact on downstream projects like
busybox. What if it some disables CONFIG_LFS inside busybox ?

In Buildroot, we have dropped the ability to disable LFS since March
2015. It was really too annoying to maintain the !LFS case, for no real
benefit.
So I'm completely fine with uClibc-ng dropping !LFS support upstream,
since Buildroot no longer cares about this possibility.

At least it does compile fine and I can bootup a system in Qemu.
I think it will just not work with files bigger than 2GB.
Busybox use LFS mostly for Android systems, if I interpret the code
in libbb.h correctly.

I agree. The size saving is really quite small. We did the same thing in
Buildroot last year.

Looks good to me, thought maybe Vineet has another opinion on that.
