The answer you're looking for can be found in the following direct
quote from the stat() man page:

USAGE
The stat(), fstat(), and lstat() functions have transitional
interfaces for 64-bit file offsets. See lf64(5).

man largefile

Also, go to docs.sun.com. There's a document there that describes how
to build 32 bit large file aware programs.

Or build 64 bit programs.
