linux RedHat 7.0 on a i686 machine.
>Description:
streamoff and streampos are used interchangebly in most
libio/* files, although streamoff is scalar whereas
streampos is a structure (first field is scalar).
Look near line 75 in libio/streambuf.h
and for example near line 75 in libio/indstream.cc (attached).
NOTE: it is the release version I downloaded from gcc.gnu.org.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I have tried a few changes, but there are too many to be
made.  I would preffer this being solved the right way.
NOTE: in the 2.96 version streamoff and streampos have
the same scalar type and thus can be interchanged.
However, 2.96 has a lot of precompilation bugs, and I
cannot use.
