We generally support what upstream supports. If upstream is broken then
we'll be broken, but we'll try to fix it if we have time.
Some of our packages do ask if you want 64-bit file support
(libsndfile, mhwaveedit, dansguardian, sessreg, zsh, nano). If you want
these queries added to all libraries, please do so (or file bugs), but
our policy would be to leave the query to what upstream wants (e.g. if
zlib upstream defaults to 32-bit offsets have the query default to that
as well).
If specific packages need some libraries built with 64-bit offset we
can use SUB_DEPENDS to force that.
