musl 1.2.4 has removed the transitional LFS off64_t type. sync_file_range is declared with off_t in musl, which is always 64 bits. This assumes that the same is true of any other libc which doesn't provide off64_t. If it's not, gcc will produce an error due to the conflicting types of sync_file_range(), so it will be caught and can be fixed.

This reverts commit c7f51f0. This broke 32-bit Glibc builds. I've submitted a revised patch upstream, but in the meantime, there's no point keeping this around, since we didn't do the musl upgrade yet. Link: NixOS#292654 (comment) Link: stewartsmith/libeatmydata#36
