Right. 64bit file support just doesn't exist for FreeMiNT at this time. Sure, stat64 and seek64 (but that's a wrapper around seek anyway) exist but there's a whole slew of stuff needed yet. The alternative is to weak_alias the 64bit calls in MiNTlib to the 32bit counterparts which will workaround apps that require 64bit support, but obviously if they go over the 2GB file limit, strange things could happen.
