I'm trying this patch on AIX 4.3.3 (sigh!) with gcc3. I get this:

git-compat-util.h:209:1: warning: "fopen" redefined
In file included from git-compat-util.h:51,
                 from builtin.h:4,
                 from git.c:1:
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0/3.2.1/include/stdio.h:110:1:
warning: this is the location of the previous definition

Line 110 in ...include/stdio.h is inside a #ifdef _LARGE_FILES section and
says:

#define fopen fopen64

Did you also get this warning? Is _LARGE_FILES support solved in a
different way on 5.3?
