It is possible that file manipulation functions, like fopen, fseek etc., in gcc 2.6.3 do not support file sizes greater than 2 GB. Is there a way to work it around? For example, can I compress the trace file on the fly? The syntax I am using to generate a trace file is

    I believe it is the system call definitions you are using and not the
    compiler. If you look in /usr/include/features.h you may see things like

    __USE_LARGEFILE64
    __USE_FILE_OFFSET64

    These defines determine the internal format of the system calls you are
    using in your program. And I believe you may have to use fopen64 rather
    than fopen.
