>Environment:
Solaris 8.0 
gcc 3.0.2
>Description:
When compiling on Solaris for files > 2 Gigs the flag -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE cause the Solaris supplied /usr/include/stdio.h to create define fopen as fopen64 using a macro.
This macro is undefined by the gcc include/g++-v3/bits/.std_cstdio.h
Thus any attempt to open a largefile in compiled code will fail on execution with an error "Value too large for defined data type". Truss will show fopen being called rather than fopen64.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try the following code on a large file > 2 Gigs
g++ `LFS_CLFAGS` -o junk junk.c 
#include <cstdio>

main()
{
  FILE *fp = fopen("reallybigfile.gen","rb");
  if (fp==NULL) perror("fopen");
}
You will get when you run 
fopen: Value too large for defined data type
>Fix:
remove "#undef fopen" (and same for fgetpos, freopen, fsetpos) in std_cstdio.h but this may break something else.
