Where is loff_t being used? It's probably the wrong type to use. The
only APIs loff_t is to be used with are under _GNU_SOURCE, so if you
don't need -D_GNU_SOURCE to get the functions, it's doubtful that
loff_t should be used. These functions are in fcntl.h, and it will
#define loff_t off_t when _GNU_SOURCE is defined, so either
-D_GNU_SOURCE or -Dloff_t=off_t would be a workaround, but I think the
issue should be investigated to determine if there's code that needs
to be fixed or if there are other circumstances under which loff_t
should be exposed by musl.
